    4040If in doubt, you may ask a colleague to double check your experimental setup with you.

     42== Don't wait for the end of the simulation before checking ==  
    4243Your model experiments are now running.

    44 == Don't wait for the end of the simulation before checking ==  
    4545You may check during the run that the simulations are doing what you expect them to do. You may also check that their computational cost is what you expect.

    47 Despite all your attention, your experiments turn out to be bugged, the experimental design was inappropriate or some diagnostics are missing. These things happen, do not blame yourself too much, analyze your errors and you may rerun the simulations with the corrected experimental design or setup! High research quality remains what we aim for.

     49== Share your results with other researcher ==  
    4950Your model experiments are done and it is time to analyze them.

    52 When it comes to analyzing your results, you may avoid duplicating the output. If you run your analysis on the IPSL spirit cluster, then you can make your model output visible through thredds (see there).

    5555== Decreases the number of inodes ==  
    56 When I am finished with the analysis, it is a good idea to keep only the part of the model output that has been useful or may be useful in the future. You may delete test simulations that are obsolete and archive the rest (using cc_pack, tar, zip) on the storedir to diminish the environmental impact of mass storage.
