Stage files for intensive I/O calculations onto the SCRATCH storage.
!!!important "I/O Jobs"
Stage files for I/O calculations onto the SCRATCH storage.
The PROJECT storage is not primarily intended for computing and it is strongly recommended to avoid using it directly for computing in majority of cases.
On the other hand, the PROJECT storage is accessible from compute nodes and can be used for computing jobs with low I/O demands,
when copying data to other storage for computing is not feasible or efficient.
However, be aware of overloading the storage, as this will result in degraded performance for other users of the PROJECT storage or its unavailability.
For maximum performance, you should always copy the files of I/O intensive jobs onto the SCRATCH storage.
The files should be copied to SCRATCH from Login nodes before submitting the job.
PROJECT storage is not designed for computational tasks and must not be used directly for such purposes.
Please ensure that all files are copied to SCRATCH from the login nodes before submitting your job.
