User Data Area

User data area

Each user has a personal workspace where they can store files related to their jobs. When you connect to the access server’s command line, you will automatically land in your home directory:

/home/<your-username>

The file system between the cluster nodes and the access server is shared via NFS (Network File System), so there is no need to copy files to or from the compute nodes or between nodes. Any file you upload to the access server will immediately be available on all compute nodes, and any changes you make to files on the access server will be reflected everywhere.

In your workspace you may also install or compile software for use on the cluster, provided that the installation process does not require administrator (root) privileges.
