[yt-users] yt on kraken

I can use a yt build that lives in my home directory to process data that
lives on scratch from the compute nodes using an interactive qsub -I job.
On an non-interactice job I do need to take care that the matplotlib
backend is set to something that doesn't require X.

I don't know how what type of filesystem $HOME is in terms of the 
mounting, but the situation would be substantially improved if the builds 
used by "module load yt/dev" lived on a filesystem that is more like 
/nics/d/home and less like /lustre/scratch.
