HPC POLICIES

Do NOT run any job which is longer that few minutes on the Master nodes. It is best to request for an interactive job. If, however, large number of nodes are required, submit with a small walltime few minutes to an hour
All programs/jobs should be profiled and benchmarked before submitting production jobs to HPC.
Be aware of the amount of disk space utilized by your job(s). Do an estimate before submitting multiple jobs
Please submit jobs preferably in $LSCRATCH. You can back up your results/summaries in your $HOME
Choice of Wall time is essential. By profiling and benchmarking, users can judge the time required for a full run. By providing the maximum, they reduce the priority of the job.
Please add a software tag to your submission scripts (e.g. #PBS -l software=NAMD). Please keep it identical for all your jobs
$SCRATCH is NOT backed up! Please download all your data! Please see policies
Before installing any software in your home, ensure that it is from a reliable and safe source.
Please do not use spaces while creating the directories and files.
Please inform HPC-help when you notice something strange - e.g. unexpected slowdowns, files missing/corrupted etc.
