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 deleeted.
