What disk storage locations are available at the CSUC HPC machines?

There are four separate data storage locations in our HPC machines.

• The /home/ volume can be accessed from all machines. It is a permanent storage space, with regular back-up and a personal quota of 4GB. A group quota can also apply. This is the storage unit that should be used for permanent inputs, model files, scripts, and other such files. The environment variable $HOME points to /home/youruser/.
• The /cescascratch/ volume can be accessed from all machines. It provides a convenient location for produce large data files (such as long simulation outputs), with a personal quota of 1TB. Files in /cescascratch/ can be automatically deleted after 30 days, and the unit is not backed-up. The environment variable $SCRATCH points to /cescascratch/youruser/.
• The /dades/ volume is a specialised, unlimited, not backed-up permanent storage units for users with specific data storage needs. Access must be requested in advance. $DADES points to /dades/youruser/.
• /tmp/ is the local disk space in each node, allowing for fast I/O rate, but can only be accessed from the node itself. Files in /tmp/ are cleared after a week and space usage is limited by job. $TMPDIR points to /tmp/youruser/jobid.date/ for ease of identification.
