File Systems

Overview

TIR provides two types of file systems designed for different collaboration and performance needs:

  • Shared File System (SFS): Shared storage that multiple nodes can access at the same time. Ideal for distributed computing and team collaboration.
  • Parallel File System (PFS): High-performance storage optimized for parallel I/O operations. Perfect for HPC workloads and multi-node training that require maximum throughput.

When to Use Each
