 +Unless your username is associated with either a Project, Principal Investigator, or a Class, access to ibex resources will be [[https://docs.hpc.kaust.edu.sa/policy/ibex.html#limits-on-unassociated-users|severely constrained]]. To nominate your supervisor, please visit http://my.ibex.kaust.edu.sa . You can check if a PI is defined using the "whoismypi" program on a login node.

 +To use Ibex resources in any significant way, you must be under the direct supervision of the **Research Faculty or a Director**. From RCAC clarification, it is only professors (full, associate, assistant, and research).

-  * **/ibex/user/$USER** - this is your HPC storage. Use this storage to save the output and input to compute jobs. This is much faster than your home directory, so your jobs will run faster. This directory has a limit of 1.5 TB. If you need more storage, contact the Ibex support team. +  * **/ibex/user/$USER** - this is your HPC storage.

If you need more storage, contact the Ibex support team. 
-  * **/tmp** - For specific temporary files, specify this directory. Once your job is finished, all files in this directory will be deleted. Placing job temporary data in this directory will result in higher performance than storing it in your scratch area; won't contribute towards your used quota; and will automatically be deleted when your job finishes.+
