  • on the local SSD disks on login nodes (14 TB of capacity), mounted as /scratch_local (TMPDIR=/scratch_local). This is a shared area with no quota, remove all the files once they are not requested anymore. A cleaning procedure will be enforced in case of improper use of the area.   
  • on the local SSD disks on the serial node (lrd_all_serial, 14TB of capacity), managed via the slurm job_container/tmpfs plugin. This plugin provides a job-specific, private temporary file system space, with private instances of /tmp and /dev/shm in the job's user space (TMPDIR=/tmp, visible via the command "df -h"), removed at the end of the serial job. You can request the resource via sbatch directive or srun option "--gres=tmpfs:XX" (for instance: --gres=tmpfs:200GB), with a maximum of 1 TB for the serial jobs. If not explicitly requested, the /tmp has the default dimension of 10 GB.
  • on the local SSD disks on DCGP nodes (3 TB  of capacity). As for the serial node, the local /tmp and /dev/shm areas are managed via plugin, which at the start of the jobs mounts private instances of /tmp and /dev/shm in the job's user space (TMPDIR=/tmp, visible via the command "df -h /tmp"), and unmounts them at the end of the job (all data will be lost). You can request the resource via sbatch directive or srun option "--gres=tmpfs:XX", with a maximum of all the available 3 TB for DCGP nodes. As for the serial node, if not explicitly requested, the /tmp has the default dimension of 10 GB. Please note: for the DCGP jobs the requested amount of gres/tmpfs resource contributes to the consumed budget, changing the number of accounted equivalent core hours, see the dedicated section on the Accounting
  • on RAM on the diskless booster nodes (with a fixed size of 10 GB, no increase is allowed, and the gres/tmpfs resource is disabled).
