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.


  1. 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).
  2. Make odel kill itself when getting stuck
