Goals: Walk through accessing an ARCC HPC and navigating directories

If users have attended previous workshops, this will be review.


Opening Screen:

  • Shows message of the day

  • Lists storage usage - across project spaces

    • You can see this again by calling: arccquota

    • Also shows directories specific to arcc HPCs

General Format:[<username>@<server/node-name> <folder>]$ 
[arcc-t30@mblog2 ~]$ arccquota

project-software

/project/<project-name>/software

Storage space to install software to be shared among project group members.

Only on MedicineBow

gscratch

/gscratch/<username>

Scratch space to perform computing for individual users.

Data here is subject to a purge policy.

node local scratch

/lscratch

Only on compute.

memory filesystem

/dev/shm

RAM-based tmpfs available as part of RAM for very rapid I/O operations; small capacity.

See here for information about directory quotas
