S3DF is SLAC Shared Scientific Data Facility. Official Web-Page.
This scientific computing cluster contains shared computing resources of SLAC and can be used by our group members.
Log-in
You have to get a user account. Connect via ssh.
ssh username@s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu
The log-in nodes have very limited functionality. You have to continue to an interactive node.
For example
ssh iana
Theory Group Specific Resources
At the moment our resources on S3DF are still limited as we have not purchased any yet.
This will change in fall 2023. Each user is currently equipped with a home directory of 28 GB (default).
We have a group directory located at "/sdf/group/epptheory/" with 10TB of available storage.
There we install common software packages to be used by the Theory Group members.
If you want additional software to be install contact Alex or Bernhard.
Currently, the following tools are installed:
gcc (v12 including g++, gfortran), Cuba, CLN, GINAC, LHAPDF, mysql
To make use of the installed software automatically you might want to add to your .bashrc file in your home directory the following lines.
export PATH=/sdf/group/epptheory/bin:/sdf/group/epptheory/Programs/gcc-12/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/sdf/group/epptheory/lib:/sdf/group/epptheory/Programs/gcc-12/lib64:/sdf/group/epptheory/Programs/mysql/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_RUN_PATH=/sdf/group/epptheory/Programs/gcc-12/lib:$LD_RUN_PATH
