title: Computing Guides

<p>
Below is a list of guides for some of the most common tasks our users need to
carry out as they begin and continue to use the resources at the CHTC. 
Some of these are general computing solutions; others are specific to HTCondor
or to the configuration of CHTC computing resources.

   <li><a href="#hpc">Use the HPC Cluster</a> </li>
   <li><a href="#ext">External Resources</a> </li>
</ul>

Guides will be added to the list as we can provide them. Please contact us
(email at bottom of page) if you find any of the information to be incorrect.
