 +===== Access to ibex ===== 
 +Unless your username is associated with either a Project, Principal Investigator, or a Class, access to ibex resources will be [[https://docs.hpc.kaust.edu.sa/policy/ibex.html#limits-on-unassociated-users|severely constrained]]. To nominate your supervisor, please visit http://my.ibex.kaust.edu.sa . You can check if a PI is defined using the "whoismypi" program on a login node. 
 + 
 +To use Ibex resources in any significant way, you must be under the direct supervision of the **Research Faculty or a Director**. From RCAC clarification, it is only professors (full, associate, assistant, and research). 
 +

 + 
 +Welcome to KAUST! As a new user, especially if it's your first time, here are some essential resources to get you started: 
 + 
 +1. **Ibex 101**: Begin with the [[https://docs.hpc.kaust.edu.sa/training/ibex_user_resources.html#ibex-user-resources|Ibex 101]] slides and demos. These will introduce you to all the resources and commands available in the cluster. This foundational knowledge will be referenced frequently. 
 + 
 +2. **Ibex Training**: Explore our detailed documentation on various topics, including Data Science, for more comprehensive information. Be sure to check out these wikis: 
 +   - [[https://docs.hpc.kaust.edu.sa/soft_env/prog_env/modulesystem/ibex/index.html|Ibex User Guide]] 
 +   - [[https://docs.hpc.kaust.edu.sa/systems/ibex/index.html|Ibex main docs]] 
 +   - [[https://docs.hpc.kaust.edu.sa/soft_env/prog_env/modulesystem/ibex/datascience.html#data-science-on-ibex|Data Science User Guide]] 
 + 
 +3. **KAUST Visualization YouTube Channel**: Visit our YouTube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR1RFwgvADo5CutK0LnZRrw|here]] for many tutorials on data science workshops and more. These videos are beneficial, covering the best practices for installing libraries and coding with Ibex. 
 + 
 +4. **Python and Conda**: on the subject of managing your environments, we encourage you to install Conda using the official guide [[https://github.com/kaust-rccl/ibex-miniconda-install/tree/master|here]] 
 + 
 +5. **Jupyter, VsCode and Rstudio**: To deploy your prefered IDE on ibex check the video [[https://youtu.be/88pZEvKAiHY?si=010dJPGtGQQwMu8W|here]]

 +===== Important storage tips ===== 
 +  * **/home/$USER** - this is your personal home directory and is limited to 200GB of data. ** Do not run HPC jobs in your home directory ** - use it to keep configurations, scripts, etc. 
 +  * **/ibex/user/$USER** - this is your HPC storage. Use this storage to save the output and input to compute jobs. **This is much faster than your home directory**, so your jobs will run faster. This directory has a limit of 1.5 TB. If you need more storage, contact the Ibex support team.
