[intrepid-notify] ALCF Weekly Updates - September 20

[ALCF User Services]

*** ALCF Now Enforcing Storage Quotas for Intrepid /home ***
As of September 17, quotas are now enforced. If you exceed your quota limit in /home, you will be unable to write files to the file system. For more information on quotas, visit http://www.alcf.anl.gov/resource-guides/data-policy#space-limit-enforcement or refer to FAQs (http://www.alcf.anl.gov/resource-guides/faqs-data-management). If your storage needs exceed the standard quota limit, please email support at alcf.anl.gov with a requested amount, a brief description of the type of files you need to locate there (executables, libraries), and how storing the files in /home helps your efforts.

*** View Your Intrepid Storage Usage ***
To view your storage usage on Intrepid, use the following command: myquota (full path: /usr/local/bin/myquota). 

*** Run Jobs in a Script to Save Time, Boot Cost ***
Running jobs in a script can help save you booting cost, and get you through the queue faster. Specifically, if you want to run some 16K jobs that last about 20-30 minutes each, bundle them into a single 16K script job that lasts a few hours. It will get the jobs through the queue faster, and incur less charge. See https://www.alcf.anl.gov/resource-guides/running-jobs#submitting-a-script for script job details, and email support at alcf.anl.gov if you have any questions about how to package your jobs as a script job.
