---+++ Computing @ CERN

Running at CERN, on lxplus is an alternative to running Athena jobs locally.
---+++++ Getting an account (on lxplus)

Everything you ever wanted to know about setting up an account on lxplus but were afraid to ask, can be found here:
   * [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/WorkBookGetAccount][ATLAS Workbook - Getting an Account]] 

It's pretty important that you register as an Atlas user with the [[mailto:Atlas.Secretariat@CERN.CH][Atlas Secretariat]] by sending them a mail, as this will ensure you can use all the necessary forums, and send emails requesting help etc. There are several forms that you need to complete in order to become a member of ATLAS, all the information is available on the [[http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/register.html][Atlas Registration Page]]. The two forms are namely:
   * [[http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/ATLASreg_form.pdf][Atlas Registration Form (.pdf)]] 
   * [[http://ph-dep.web.cern.ch/ph-dep/UsersOffice/UsersContractsInfo/Welcome.html][CERN Registration Form]] 

For new group members, [[http://ppewww.physics.gla.ac.uk/~buttar/][Craig Buttar]] will sign your registration forms. If you are a student, your Funding Council Contract and a letter from the head of group, [[http://ppewww.physics.gla.ac.uk/~doyle][Tony Doyle]] should be evidence enough of your association to the department.
---+++++ Using your lxplus account

Everything else you want to know about running at CERN, on lxplus, can be found on the Atlas [[https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/WorkBook][Beginner's Workbook]].

This tends to be kept up-to-date, for latest releases etc, and is maintained by [[mailto:Steve.Lloyd@CERN.CH][Steve Lloyd]] .
