User Interface

When you log in to the Rescale platform, the following choices appear on the header.

Jobs

This is where all the jobs will get executed. A cloud instance is created when the job is submitted and it terminates when the job is completed. Hardware and software requirements are specified when the job is created. All input and generated files during the analysis are stored under the job ID. See Running First Job for more details.

Important

Jobs have storage time limit of 30 days after which they are moved to the recycle bin. After 60 days in recycle bin, the jobs will be permanently deleted.

Desktops

These are fully functional desktops that can be instantiated just like jobs. A remote connection can be establisted with these desktops and the user can interact with throuigh a graphic user interface simillar to Citrix.

Storage Devices

The cloud storage device works as the network attached storage with no time limit. The charges for using storage are billed hourly simillar to Jobs and Desktops. It can be used as a common place to store and share files within the team. Simillar to G or S Drive but on the Rescale cloud.

Files

Files tab works as shared folder between the jobs. If you need to share analysis files between two jobs then files tab can be useful. 30/60 day time limit applies to the files saved here.
