Bypass guillimin problems
How to avoid trouble on guillimin
Unfortunately guillimin is not a very "stable" machine and jobs often crash.
Here are a few tricks to bypass some of the machine's problems.
- Have $TMPDIR under /localscratch
mkdir ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
ln -s /localscratch guillimin
ln -s /localscratch localhost
Instead of being under /tmp $TMPDIR will be under /localscratch on nodes where this file system exists (compute nodes). - Make odel kill itself when getting stuck
