Much like the silent flight of an owl at night, these nodes are configured to
|
|
|
|
minimize the system noise and let programs run undisturbed. The list of nodes is
|
|
|
|
`owl[1-2]` and are available for jobs with SLURM.

The contents of the nix store of the hut node is made available in the owl nodes
|
|
|
|
when a job is running. This allows jobs to access the same paths that are on hut
|
|
|
|
to load dependencies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For now, only the hut node can be used to build new derivations so that they
|
|
|
|
appear in the compute nodes. This applies to the `nix build`, `nix develop` and
|
|
|
|
`nix shell` commands.
