Best Practices

Login Node

• Do not run analyses or jobs in the login node.

Home folder ($HOME, ~)

• Do not store datasets or large files in your home directory. You have a quota of 200 GB.
• Do not install software that you intend to run in jobs in your $HOME . Install your software in lustre.
• Do not point the logs of your jobs into your $HOME, specially when running array jobs. If not defined slurm will point them to the location you run the sbatch command.
• Do not edit or let software edit your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile. If something goes wrong you will be locked out.
