Logging in to the Cluster
Once you have been assigned a username, you can log in to the clusters (from a UNIX bash shell) using the following command:
xx must be replaced by 19 for CPU HPC and 20 for GPUHPC.
You are encouraged to change your password after the first login to the cluster using the passwd command.
File Systems
Two file systems are available on the HPC clusters:
/home/username: This is your home directory with a soft limit of 8 GB and a hard limit of 10 GB. Please use the command quota -s to check your quota. Once you have reached the hard limit, you will not be able to add or modify files.
/wd/users/username: This is the working directory where most of your working data should be stored. There is a soft limit of 2 TB on the /wd. Please use the du -h command in /wd/users/username to check your usage. Your account will be suspended if you stay above the 2 TB limit for more than a week.
Both the above file systems are mounted on CPU and GPU clusters.
