Here is a very brief introduction to SLAC's new SDF cluster. Description in progress as of 2021-11-16.
This assumes you already have a unix account created and your main intent is to run the Science Tools.
You will need to get a windows account; ask Regina Matter to help you with that. You authenticate with your windows account password, but log in to your unix account.
- see this documentation for a simple portal to get a windows account if you already have a unix one.
See sdf.slac.stanford.edu for documentation on logging in, the slurm batch system and so on.
Disk space:
- your home directory is in lustre with 20 GB of space. This space is backed up and is where code etc should go. This is also true for conda environments.
- 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
- gpfs: /gpfs/slac/fermi/fs2/u/<your_dir>
