+Previously described in the [[techstaff:phd_orientation_2017#interactive_login_servers|Interactive login server]] section.  These larger systems are configured to support instructional computing, though they are also general use.  Their main purposes include:
   * a place for students to work on assignments outside of the lab
   * a place for TA’s to test course assignments and grade assignments
   * a place for general computing that will not compromise the performance of the lab machines
 The systems support many users and should be respected. Please follow the following guidelines:
-Resource intensive activities (utilize large amounts of RAM, excessive disk I/O, multiple CPUs, or long execution times) should be directed to your desktop or elsewhere (see SLURM for internal options, or RCC (https://rcc.uchicago.edu/) for external options)

 Programs requiring significant disk I/O should not use your home directory as a data repository.  The home directory is convenient but it is slow.  Please create a directory in the /local directory and use that directory for your data source.  /local is a local disk and is orders of magnitude faster than NFS.
