Good Cluster Citizenship

You share TGI RAILS with many other users, and what you do on the system affects others. Exercise good citizenship to ensure that your activity does not adversely impact the system and the research community with whom you share it. Here are some rules of thumb:

• Don’t run production jobs on the login nodes (very short time debug tests are fine)

• Don’t stress file systems with known-harmful access patterns (many thousands of small files in a single directory)

• If you encounter an issue, submit an informative help ticket including loaded modules (module list) and stdout/stderr messages if possible.
