Delete old startup files as necessary. Store output files into HPSS after the computational work completes. Periodically write restart files from within large runs, so system crashes result in minimal wasted work. Delete old startup files as necessary. If you want to save the output files for more than several days, move them to HPSS interactively.
AFS access is provided as a file sharing environment.
There are a few good practices which can reduce system response time and program execution time. Use dmget to retrieve migrated files before attempting to access them. This is especially critical if the file is needed by a batch job or other computational work. Use the tar command to archive numerous small files into a larger archive. This reduces your inode count and makes file transfers more efficient.
