1 Overview

The cluster storage system provides a large parallel file system based on IBM Spectrum Scale for $HOME, for workspaces and for temporary storage via the $TMPDIR environment variable

$HOME Workspaces $TMPDIR
Visibility global global global
Lifetime permanent workspace lifetime batch job walltime
Capacity 5.2 PB 5.2 PB 128 GB per node (9 TB per fat node)
Quotas 200 GB 10 TB none
Backup no no no
  • global: all nodes access the same file system.
  • permanent: files are stored permanently.
  • workspace lifetime: files are removed at end of workspace lifetime.
  • batch job walltime: files are removed at end of the batch job.
