Storage

Our cluster offers multiple types of data storage, each designed to meet different performance, capacity, and accessibility needs.

Home

The home directory is shared across all cluster nodes and is intended for storing code, configurations, and important files that need to persist between sessions.

Every user has own home directory at /home path.

Project

The project is designed to facilitate data sharing and collaboration among users within the cluster. Each user can be assigned to one or more projects, allowing them to access shared datasets, contribute their own files, and work collaboratively with other project members.

This ensures that teams can efficiently manage and access common resources throughout the course of their research or development activities.

Project directory can by found on compute nodes at /project path.

Warning

This storage is not suitable for I/O-intensive computations, as it has high latency and overhead. It is intended for long-term data storage, not active processing.

Always copy your data to a scratch directory before running calculations, and move results back after your job completes.

Scratch

The Scratch is used for temporary files during computations and is optimized for performance, but data stored there is not backed up and will be deleted after job completion.

Scratch directory can by found on compute nodes at /scratch path.

Info

Users are encouraged to use scratch for temporary workloads and home storage for essential files only.
