Ginger: Craig Hartsough has recently joined hao, and will be working with Roble and me with the time-gcm/ccm flux coupler and related codes. He can use the same amount of disk space and cpu that Ray and I have. His login should be craigh (same as on other scd machines, mss, etc) if possible.

At this time, there is no charging for CPU time on dataproc, nor is there charging for read/write accesses from dataproc to the Mass Storage System (MSS). However, any files stored on the MSS will accrue storage charges on your default project number. To see what your default project number is, type the following on dataproc: grep craigh /etc/project If you have more than one project number, the default project number that is being charged is the first one listed next to your login. To redirect charges from the session to one of your other projects, use the newproj command. The syntax is newproj xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is one of the project numbers listed for your login in /etc/project. See the newproj man page for details. For information on other ways to override your default project number, see the man pages for msrcp and mswrite. Password information will be given in a separate communication. Please note: Since the IRIX operating system running on dataproc does not provide the various resource management capabilities familiar to UNICOS users, such as user-specific limits on interactive and batch process CPU time and memory usage, SCD cannot establish system-administrator imposed restrictions on the use of dataproc and its resources. Because of this, a "good neighbor" policy has been established for using dataproc; that is, the users are trusted to be good neighbors with the other users of the system. To be a "good neighbor," all dataproc users should restrict their activities as follows: Limit routine interactive use of the system to data processing and analysis. Use the higher-priority Network Queueing System (NQS) queues for data analysis and processing only; or, again, for short debug runs of models or non-data analysis applications. Use NQS's standby queue (sb) for models and long runs of non-data analysis applications, or manually reduce the model's interactive priority by prepending "npri -h 254" to the command that executes the model. (See the npri(1) man page on dataproc for more information.) A major factor governing interactive performance is the amount of memory available. Although dataproc has more memory (16 GB) than its predecessor had, we ask that you restrict memory usage of each executable or command to 1 GB or less if possible. You can determine your executable's memory use with ps -l. Limit the number of MSS file transfer commands issued at once. For example, if you submit a job to the batch queues that transfers 100 files, it will not only fill up the MSS queues, but you are more likely to run up against disk space quotas (and impact other users). A good alternative is to use a loop (either in your job script or in your Fortran program) to bring over only the file you need, use it, and remove it. You can contact the SCD Consultants if you have questions. See also the provided script and Fortran examples. Licenses for software packages are limited, and not all applications exit automatically when users log out. Do not fire up IDL, Mathematica, matlab, SPlus, or NCL and leave them running after your job has finished. Again, you can check this via the ps command. Do not flood the available processors with many tar, ccm2nc, gzip, and uncompress jobs, because this can negatively impact all users. SCD requests that dataproc users be "good neighbors" and abide by these basic policies. We also ask that if you observe processes that don't appear to be holding to these policies, you send e-mail to the perceived "abuser" and courtesy copies to opns@ucar.edu, ssg@ucar.edu, and consult1@ucar.edu. More information on the usage policy and getting started on dataproc can be found at: http://www.scd.ucar.edu/docs/dataproc For assistance in using dataproc, please contact the SCD consultants at: consult1@ucar.edu
