CBCB Private Wiki
You have to be on the UMIACS VPN to view the private wiki if you are not on campus!
In addition to this wiki there is also the CBCB private wiki. It contains information internal to CBCB, such as information about how to use the cluster.
IMPORTANT (Read First)
NEW! Read about the CBCB Software Modules
The CBCB computational infrastructure is a shared resource and we all need to pitch in in order to make sure it works well for all of us. Most importantly, we need to ensure that our disk space and computational resources are used responsibly. The disk space, in particular, is a valuable commodity and thus it is important to pay attention to the following:
- There are two types of disk space available (a full list of volumes is available at CBCB Storage) :
- Local hard drives (usually mounted as /scratch on the machines that have this resource). These are not backed up, are quite fast (they live physically close to the processor), but can only be 'seen' by the machine where they are mounted and, thus, require data staging in/out (which can take a while)
- Isilon storage (/fs/cbcb-lab, /fs/cbcb-scratch/*, etc.). This is very fast and very expensive disk and thus a limited resource.
- You should remove any temporary results you don't need in the long term as soon as you've generated them, and compress all of the large files. Bzip2 works better than gzip but either should dramatically improve the space requirements, especially for text files such as fasta or fastq.
