Best Practices

Some helpful ideas about how to manage programs and data can be found at [https://web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/research/CodeAndData.pdf|Code and Data for the Social Sciences: A Practitioner’s Guide] by Matthew Gentzkow and Jesse M. Shapiro.

  • Try not to use more than 8 CPUs per machine.
  • Use a full featured version control system.
  • Currently econ0 serves as the fileserver for the cluster but this may change in the future. Therefore specify paths using /home/<username/ or ~/ (not /econ0/<username>/).
