Jaguar

System Requirements

The hard stack size limit must be at least 55 MB.

Larger CPU cache is recommended, especially for jobs that process large amounts of data. Increasing the L2 or L3 cache size for these jobs is more important than a small increase in CPU speed. Faster local disk access is important for jobs that read a lot of data. For example, using SSD, a disk with a higher speed (e.g. 10000 rpm), or a disk array that uses multiple controllers and striping can be beneficial.

Jaguar jobs also perform a lot of IO, so faster disk access is important. Local disks are preferred over networked disks for temporary storage (or for data that is used often) because networked disks are affected by network access, bandwidth, and network traffic.
