Disk Storage

 

When you obtain a new HPC account, you will be provided with the following storage:

  • /home/netid - 15GB    (backed up nightly)  
  • /extra/netid  -   200GB (no backups) 
  • /scratch/netid -  temp space, data removed nightly (no backups)

Additional storage:

  • /xdisk/netid  -  200GB to 1TB available on request. The time limit is 45 days with one extension. This allocation is deleted after 45 days if no extension is requested. There are directory level quotas so any files in this directory count against this quota not matter who created it.  The data is not backed up.
  • /rsgrps/netid -  rented/purchased space  (no backups)

Note: We strongly recommend that you do some regular housekeeping of your allocated space. Millions of files are hard to keep organized and even more difficult to migrate. Archiving or using a tool like tar will help keep our disk arrays efficient.

Job Time Limits

 Each group is allocated a base of 24,000 hours of compute time, this allocation is refreshed monthly.  The allocation can be used on either the htc/cluster/smp clusters or on the new cluster, Ocelote.

ElGato has a different allocation method of time as it is funded through an NSF MRI grant with usage time provided for campus researchers outside of the grant recipients. Reference the www.elgato.arizona.edu web site.
