Policies

All jobs should be submitted to the PBS queue. Any jobs that are run on server.hpc.ufl.edu are in violation of the HPC Center policy of running interactive jobs on submit.
The cluster is strictly for faculty sponsored research and is not to be used by students for class assignments.
Data is not backed up - not even home directories. Please copy any data which you cannot afford to lose to your own storage.
Please do not use your /home directory nor a subdirectory thereof as a data sink for applications running on the cluster.
- The /home file system is not designed to handle the load imposed by dozens (let alone hundreds) of nodes writing to it simultaneously and can easily be overwhelmed. When that happens, everyone suffers because file system response becomes slow and it becomes difficult for us to edit files and compile applications or copy data. Please be sure that you have a directory in /scratch/ufhpc and that the output from your applications is written there or in a subdirectory of your scratch directory.
The data storage capabilities of the cluster are not to be used as a storage repository for other locations.
