Douglas Neuroinformatics Platform Documentation

Welcome to the Douglas Neuroinformatics Platform (DNP) documentation.

Important

Home folder quota: 50 GB
Home folders should be used for code, configuration files, and small test files.

All imaging and project data must be stored in shared/project storage locations, not in your home folder.

General Rules for system Use:
1. Ensure data integrity by not sharing your login credentials.
2. Choose a low-use machine. The command ‘who’ lists users, and ‘htop’ shows system usage.
3. For bulk data transfers, connect directly to cicss05 to bypass any round-trip data transfers.
4. Avoid using your ‘$HOME’ folder for data storage. Utilize your project’s ‘/data’ folder instead.
5. Refrain from using ‘sudo’. If you’re following instructions that need it, its time to ask for help.

If you’re new to the platform, start with:

• Getting started to set up your user account and learn the basics

If you’re an existing user, see

• Using the system for details on access, data, and software

• Research methods for guidance on sharing datasets
