Cineca User Guide — Offline HPC Workflow (Leonardo Cluster)

This repository provides a practical guide for new users of the CINECA Leonardo Supercomputer working in offline environments (i.e., no internet access on compute nodes). It includes:

• A detailed PDF guide (Cineca_User_Guide.pdf) with setup steps for Conda, SLURM, offline datasets/models, monitoring, and organizing your project folder.
• A generic SLURM job script (test.sh) template to launch training jobs.

This project is still in progress, I plan to expand the guide and add more templates or tools based on future needs and user feedback.

If you find this guide or script helpful in your work, please consider citing or crediting me.
It helps keep the project maintained and encourages further improvements.

Created and maintained by Livia Oddi.
Feel free to open an issue or contact me for questions, suggestions, or contributions to the guide.
