## Guidelines
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
* Do not permanently store data on the Shark cluster, we take no responsibility for loss of your data.
|
|
|
* Do not use the /tmp directory for storage, this directory is used for SUN GRID ENGINE (SGE) and Helicos analysis.
|
|
|
* Do not use your home folder for large files. Create a directory in your own [network share](Network_shares) ”groupdir” and work from there.
|
|
|
* Do not produce a heavy work load on the head node.
|
|
|
* Do not qsub a lot of jobs with hold dependencies (1000 jobs or more, this will give a very heavy load on the head node and could cause the head node to crash.
|
|
|
* Do not run tests on the Shark cluster. This is a production cluster. Run tests on your own workstation.
|
|
|
* Do not execute programs on the head node.
|
|
|
* Do not change your public and private key on this cluster located at ~/.ssh
|
|
|
* Do not share your login credentials with others.
|
|
|
* Do not abuse the use of qlogin.
|
|
|
* Always qsub your jobs or even better use [qmake with a Makefile](Makefile)
|
|
|
* Software will only be updated once every 6 months. Keep in mind that this is a production server with lots of users and that we can not update the software for every single user as he or she wishes, this can interfere with pipelines running on the cluster.
|
|
|
* New software can be requested. This software will be evaluated, we look at whether it should and can run on the Shark cluster and therefore will take at least 4 weeks for a decision.
|
|
|
* Jobs with a know run time longer than 24hr, should not fill up the complete cluster, run those jobs with respect for other users.
|
|
|
* Jobs that do take up all resources (memory, disk space, temp disk space etc.) can and will be deleted by the admin without notice.
|
|
|
* When you encounter a problem please use our [Trac system](https://humgenprojects.lumc.nl/trac/shark/newticket) for issues and/or feedback.
|
|
|
* These rules and guidelines can be changed anytime by the cluster admin.
