Using Helix for Data Transfer and File Management
Date: 29 May 2019 11:05:40From: "Elghraoui, Afif [C]"
NIH HPC users, As part of the cluster upgrade last year, Helix transitioned to becoming the dedicated interactive data transfer and file management node [1] and its hardware was later upgraded to support this role [2]. Running processes such as scp, rsync, tar, and gzip on the Biowulf login node has been discouraged ever since. Effective immediately, long-running data transfer processes and intensive file compressions on the Biowulf login node will be subject to termination. All such interactive data transfer/file management processes should be run on Helix. 1. https://hpc.nih.gov/docs/rhel7.html#helix 2. https://hpc.nih.gov/about/announcements.php?721 -- Afif Elghraoui NIH HPC Support Scientist 301-480-1176 | https://hpc.nih.gov ######################################################################## Please contact staff@hpc.nih.gov with any questions about the NIH HPC Systems[Last 12 months of HPC announcements]
