====== Cluster Setup ======

All the cluster nodes are diskless machines, apart from a a single SSD used as a fast/low-latency temporary directory.
In the following section a more detailed description of the mounted file-systems will be given for your convenience in order to better exploit the cluster capabilities.

===== Mounted Filesystems =====

Each node mounts the following file-systems:

^ Mount point  ^ Description |
|/             | Is mounted via NFS from the login node. |
|/home         | Is mounted via NFS from the login node and is shared between the compute nodes. |
|/scratch      | Is mounted via NFS from the login node and is shared between the compute nodes; users can write in this folder, but files older than 48h will be automatically deleted. |
|/tmp          | Is local to the compute node, thus it can be accessed faster than the //home// or //scratch// folders, but when your job completes, files saved in this folder will be automatically deleted.|
