Tips and tricks
===============

Working with ORCA1
------------------

If you plan to run diagnostics for ORCA1 resolution, be aware that your workstation will be more than capable to run
them. At this resolution, memory and CPU consumption is low enough to allow you keep using the machine while running,
specially if you reserve a pair of cores for other uses.

Configuring core usage
----------------------

By default, the Earth Diagnostics creates a thread for each available core for the execution. If you are using a queueing
system, the diagnostics will always use the number of cores that you reserved. If you are running outside a queueing
system, the diagnostics will try to use all the cores on the machine. To avoid this, add the MAX_CORES parameter to the
DIAGNOSTICS section inside the diags.conf file that you are using.

Cleaning temp file
------------------

By default, EarthDiagnostics removes the temporary directory after execution. This behaviour can be avoided be setting
ra

By default

.. code-block:: bash

    earthdiags -f PATH_TO_CONF --clean
