- Your home directory is in weka (/sdf/home/<first letter of our userid>/<your userid>) with 30 GB of space. This space is backed up and is where code, etc., should go. This is also true for conda environments.
- We have group space at /sdf/group/fermi/ which will include shared software, as well as Fermi-supplied user (i.e., on top of your home directory) and group space. You can find it in /sdf/group/fermi/u/<you>.
- after gpfs is retired in late 2023, this is where your larger user space will be.
- We're still providing additional user space from the old cluster, available on request via the slac-helplist mailing list. It is not backed up. This space is natively gpfs. User directories are available under: /gpfs/slac/fermi/fs2/u/<your_dir>; we have not created any group directories yet.
Fermitools installs are available (note that this also provides a Conda installation and other analysis software (e.g., 3ML) are available via shared Conda installation, so you don't need to install Conda yourself). See Fermitools/Conda Shared Installation at SLAC. If you do want your own Conda, you shouldn't install it in your home directory due to quota limits. Follow the S3DF documentation instructions to install Conda and set a prefix path for the Conda installation that will put it and any environments you create in your group space. However, you should use a prefix to your personal space, e.g., /sdf/group/fermi/u/$USER/miniconda3, instead of the path in their example.
You can also run a RHEL6 Singularity container (for apps that are not portable to RHEL/Centos7). See Using RHEL6 Singularity Container.
