• Besides those projects materials provided via links in the above table, each project has also prepared the project descriptions and data in the m4388 project area on the Community File System (CFS) on Perlmutter at /global/cfs/cdirs/m4388/Project*-<name>, such as Project2-ClimRR.
• Students who work on Project X Group Y will work in a shared directory in CFS at /global/cfs/cdirs/m4388/Project*-Group*, such as Prj2-GroupC.
• Using Prj2-GroupC as an example, you can run this command to copy over the entire Project, after login to Perlmutter:

  cd $CFS/m4388/Prj3-GroupC
  cp -r $CFS/m4388/Project2-ClimRR .
  

• Any student who would like to do some individual tests can work in their own scratch directory:

  cd $SCRATCH
  cp -r $CFS/m4388/Project2-ClimRR .
