The use of `/tmp` should be proportional to the resource use of you job (i.e. when your jobs request 2 CPUs (3% of a node), they can't use more than 3% of the available space in `/tmp`). Since the space in `/tmp` differs between nodes, you should either assume the smallest space, or specifically request a certain size of `/tmp` if your job also has constraints on possible node types. In all cases, reduce the usage of `/tmp`, and clean up data in `/tmp` immediately when it's no longer needed.
