Start with a SLICES-RI account, then choose the access method that fits your experiment: Jupyter notebooks, the SLICES command-line interface, or NITOS resource reservations.
Step 1 · Your research identity
Get a SLICES-RI account
Visit the SLICES-RI portal and choose Sign Up. Follow the registration process, accept the terms, and join an existing project or request a new one. Complete any email verification and wait for the required account or project approval before accessing services.
Step 2 · Choose your access method
Three ways to use the infrastructure
Choose the workflow appropriate to the resources you need. Service permissions and resource availability determine which experiments you can run.
01
Sign in to Jupyter
Open the SLICES-GR Jupyter environment and sign in with your SLICES account. Choose an available notebook environment and follow the spawning workflow to start your session.
Launch Jupyter ↗Use SLICES-CLI from Jupyter or your computer
Run SLICES-CLI in a terminal in your Jupyter environment or install it on your own computer. Follow the official guide for installation, authentication, project selection, and the commands supported by each service.
After installing the CLI, authenticate and select your project:
slices auth login
slices project list
slices project use YOUR_PROJECT
Complete the browser authorization requested by slices auth login. Replace YOUR_PROJECT with the name of a project listed for your account.
SLICES-CLI installation and command guide ↗Book NITOS resources with the scheduler
Use the NITOS scheduler to browse resources, check availability, and reserve the nodes and times needed for your experiment. Sign in when prompted and follow the reservation rules shown in the scheduler.
