| Code Of Conduct | 13 June 2019 | merlin6_sidebar | /merlin6/code-of-conduct.html |
The Basic principle
The basic principle is courtesy and consideration for other users.
- Merlin6 is a shared resource, not your laptop, therefore you are kindly requested to behave in a way you would be happy to see other users behaving towards you.
- Basic shell programming skills in Linux/UNIX environment is a must-have requirement for HPC users; a proficiency in shell programming would be greatly beneficial.
Interactive nodes
- The interactive nodes (also known as login nodes) are for development and quick testing:
- Is strictly forbidden to run production jobs on the login nodes.
- Is forbidden to run long processes occupying big part of the resources.
- According to the previous rules, any miss-behaving running processes will be killed.
- All production jobs must be submitted to the batch system.
Batch system
- Make sure that no broken or run-away processes are left when your job is done. Keep the process space clean on all nodes.
- During the runtime of a job, is mandatory to make use of the
/scratchand/shared-scratchpartitions for temporary data:- Is forbidden to use the
/data/user,/data/projector/psi/home/for that purpose. - Always remove files you do not need any more (e.g. core dumps, temporary files) as early as possible. Keep the disk space clean on all nodes.
- Prioritize the use of
/scratchover/shared-scratchand use the latter when clearly needed (in example, a need for a shared disk visible from multiple nodes)
- Is forbidden to use the
- Read description in [Merlin6 directory structure](### Merlin6 directory structure) for correct usage of each partition type.
System Administrator Rights
- The system administrator has the right to block the access to Merlin6 for an account violating the Code of Conduct
- The issue will be escalated to the user's supervisor.
- The system administrator has the right to delete files in the scratch directories exceeding the above rules.
- The system administrator has the right to kill any miss-behaving running processes.
