/We will be providing Introduction: The workshop session will provide a quick tour covering high-level ideas concepts, commands and processes for using Linux and HPC on our cluster, which should all you to access and use our Beartooth Cluster Beartooth cluster. It will cover enough to allow an attendee to access the cluster and to perform analysis associated with this workshop.

• In short, we maintain internally housed scientific resources including more than one HPC Cluster, data storage, and several research computing servers and resources.

• We are here to assist UW researchers like yourself with your research computing needs.

1. /home (Common across most shared HPC Resources)

   1. What is it for? Similar to on a PC, and Macintosh HD → Users on a Mac

   2. Permissions: It should have files specific to you, personally, as the HPC user. By default no one else has access to your files in your home.

   3. Director Path: Every HPC user on Beartooth has a folder in on Beartooth under /home/<your_username> or $HOME

   4. Default Quota: 25GB

2. /project (Common across most shared HPC Resources)

   1. What is it for? Think of it as a shared folder for you and all your project members. Similar to /glade/campaign on NCAR HPC.

   2. Permissions: All project members have access to the folder. By default, all project members can read any files or folders within, and can write in the main project directory.

   3. Directory path: get to it at /project/biocompworkshop/

   4. Subfolders in /project/biocompworkshop/ for each user are added to project when a user gets added to the project, but only that user can write to their folder.

   5. Default Quota: 1TB which is for the project folder itself and includes all it’s contents and subfolders.

3. /gscratch (Scratch folder, common across most HPC resources but sometimes just called "scratch")

   1. What is it for? It’s “scratch space”, so it’s storage dedicated for you to store temporary data you need access to.

   2. Permissions: Like /home, contents is specific to you, personally, as the HPC user. By default no one else has access to your files in your /gscratch.

   3. Director Path: Every HPC user on Beartooth has a gscratch directory in Beartooth under /gscratch/<your_username> or $SCRATCH

   4. Default Quota: 5TB

      1. Don’t store anything in /gscratch that you need or don't have backed up elsewhere. It's not meant to store anything long term.

      2. Everyone’s /gscratch directory is subject to ARCC's purge policy.

Since the cluster has to cater for everyone we can not provide a simple desktop environment that provides everything.

Instead we provide modules that a user will load that configures their environment for their particular needs within a session.
