Rephrase "Request for Resources"
https://doc.zih.tu-dresden.de/application/request_for_resources/
This is just a suggestion to rephrase without changing the content. Would suggest to rephrase this way:
# Request for Resources
Important note: ZIH systems run Linux. Thus for effective work, you should know your way around Linux based systems and the Bash Shell. Beginners can find a lot of tutorials on the internet.
## Determine the Required CPU and GPU Hours
ZIH systems are focused on data-intensive computing. They are meant to be used for highly parallelized code. Please take that into account when transferring sequential code from a local machine. To estimate your execution time when executing your previously sequential program parallely, you can use [Amdahl's law][1]. Think in advance about the parallelization strategy for your project.
## Available Software
It is good practice for working on HPC clusters to use software and packages with parallelization wherever possible. Open-source software is more preferable than proprietary software. You can check for already installed software at the [Software module list][2]. However, the majority of popular programming languages, scientific applications, software and packages can be installed on the HPC cluster using different dependencies. There are [two different software environments](../software/modules.md) implementing these varying dependencies: `scs5` (the regular one) and `ml` (environment for the Machine Learning partition). When looking for your software, keep in mind that it needs to work on Linux.
