# Can I run workloads directly on the login node?

No. The login node is a shared resource for submitting jobs, managing files, and running lightweight commands. Compute-heavy processes run there consume resources that every other user on the cluster needs, and they can make the login node unresponsive. Submit work to compute nodes with `sbatch` for batch jobs or `srun` for interactive sessions.

For full details, see [Compute and Login nodes](/products/sunk/discover_sunk/compute_and_login_nodes). For how to connect to a login node, see [Connect to the Slurm Login node](/products/sunk/access_sunk/connect-to-slurm-login-node).
