Characteristics of user accounts
User accounts allow you one to access the Center for Scientific Computing's resources:
1.- Disk space
- Each user account has a permanent space ( /home ) with a fixed quota, which can be used for storage of any file needed for your daily work (source files, executables, etc).
- A huge temporal, non-permanent space can also be accessed from your account ( /scratch ) for temporary files (either intermediate or input/output). Files generated in this space are erased periodically, have they not been accessed over some time.
- If you need to store information, the person in charge of a scientific computing project can request the creation of a temporary space at the /home/proyectos to be shared by the different members belonging to said project.
2.- Computation time
- Users have a certain computation time at the execution queues, denoted as "Proyectos de Usuario" . If the user is attached to a computation project in a group, it will also have some time available in "Proyecto de Grupos". This computation time is automatically renewed.
- This time can be used to perform compilations, app development, and task executions.
