RIS Scientific Compute Platforms
================================

Overview
--------

These are "End User Documents" for the Wash U Research Infrastructure Services
(RIS) Compute Management service.

Assumptions
-----------
If you are reading this document, it is assumed that you:

* Have been assigned a Wash U `WUSTL Key` Identity,
* Are or work for `Research Faculty or Staff`,
* Are on `local Wash U computer networks`, have access to the `Wash U Medical
  School VPN` or the `Danforth VPN`.
* Acknowledge that all users of the Compute Service are expected to have read and comply with the :ref:`User Agreement <compute-user-agreement>`.

Before You Get Started
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The following pages go over some of the requirements necessary before you are able to start using the RIS Compute Platform.
- This is the user agreement that all users must agree to in order to use the RIS Compute Platform.

- :ref:`Compute Software Debugging Policy <compute-software-debugging>`

Getting Up And Running
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- An introduction to the compute platform and how to run a job is contained within the Quick Start. It is recommended that new users begin with this tutorial upon activating compute services.
