<br />
== Do ==<br />
<br />
* '''Do''' run computation as jobs through the scheduler, and request only the resources you need — see [[Scheduler Overview (Slurm)]] and the [[Fair Use Policy]].<br />
* '''Do''' keep active data on [[Compute Storage|Lustre]], and know what is backed up — see [[Backup Policy]].<br />
* '''Do''' keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose, and archive data you are finished with — see [[Archival Storage]].<br />
* '''Do''' pin software versions and keep your work reproducible — see [[Reproducibility Guidelines]].<br />
* '''Do''' watch your spending — see [[Reporting Usage]] and [[Tariffs]].<br />
<br />
== Don't ==<br />
<br />
* '''Don't''' run heavy work, or heavy I/O such as logging, on the [[Login Nodes|login nodes]] or against your [[Home Directory|home directory]].<br />
* '''Don't''' run jobs outside the scheduler.<br />
* '''Don't''' over-request resources "to be safe" — it wastes your budget and makes your jobs wait longer in the queue.<br />
* '''Don't''' leave large files on [[Compute Storage|/lustre/scratch]] — it may be purged, and it costs money.<br />
* '''Don't''' share your account or credentials — see [[User Responsibilities]].<br />
