 With SLURM for your own sake it is important not to overallocate the resources while pending time slot for the computing job. If you overallocate then your job will be pending for resources for a long time.
-For example if you request 50 GB of RAM for you computing job while it actually uses 5 GB. Then the job will wait for computing slot for 50 GB of job and this could mean that you will wait computing time for multiple days. Or if you running parallel jobs then your jobs will run one by one instead of running all the parallel jobs at the same time.

-Other users will suffer while they are waiting for computing resources that are reserved for no reason.

-## Use local SSD of the computing node
-Each computing node has 400 GB of local storage and it is mounted to the /tmp path. For the computing jobs that write temporary results you could get much greater performance by using the local storage instead of the network drive.
-## Monitor your jobs
-You can monitor the resources usage with the [Grafana dashboard](https://sampo.uef.fi)
