h1. JLab Farm Information
Included below is some information and resources regarding working with the PionLT data on the JLab farm.
h2. General Farm Resources
* "JLab SciComp Info Pages":https://scicomp.jlab.org/docs/
** "Tape Storage System Info":https://scicomp.jlab.org/docs/storage
** "Auger batch queueing system":https://scicomp.jlab.org/docs/batch
*** Note, auger will be replaced by Slurm eventually, we're still using auger for now
* "Check Job/Farm Status":https://scicomp.jlab.org/scicomp/index.html#/
h2. Git Instructions/Info
* "Git Instructions":https://redmine.jlab.org/attachments/download/1173/Git_Instructions.pdf
h2. Summer 2019 Run Info
The Summer 2019 data was stored alongside the earlier KaonLT data. The data can be found in -
* /mss/hallc/spring17/raw/ - Raw data for 2019 PionLT run
* /mss/hallc/kaonlt/ - Analysed data
* /volatile/hallc/c-kaonlt/ - Temporary analysed data
Access to these directories is via the "c-comm2017" group
h2. 2021 Run Info
For the 2021 PionLT run, a new group was created, along with numerous new directories -
* New unix group: 'c-pionlt'
* New Farm/Auger project: c-pionlt
** Use this Project name for simulation (and later analysis) jobs on the Farm
* Disk resources:
** /volatile/c-pionlt/ - directory, 6 TB high quota; 2 TB Guarantee
** /group/c-pionlt/ - directory (100GB quota)
*** snapshotted hourly; backed up automatically, use for analysis scripts, etc.
** /work/hallc/c-pionlt/ - directory (1TB quota)
*** NOT backed up in any way
*** Has some small-file/performance benefits (but this doesn't really apply to hcana/podd analysis)
*** Not super useful in a modern workflow (mostly historical), but it's there if you want it.
*** Not intended for rootfile output or to store extra copies of CODA files, etc.
*** Good for large source code bases (that are 'backed up' on an external git repo, for example)
*** OK for modestly sized simulation output perhaps, though /volatile is still best.
** New Tape/disk allocations:
*** /mss/hallc/c-pionlt/raw - tape volume for raw data output
*** /mss/hallc/c-pionlt/analysis - tape volume for analysis output
** CACHE INFO COMING SOON
