# GCSFuse with Local SSD cache

`slurm-a3mega-gcsfuse-lssd-cluster.yaml` reflects best practices for using GCSFuse for ML workloads. It is configured to mount all available GCS buckets on two mountpoints on a3-mega nodes. The `/gcs-rwx` mountpoint enables parallel downloads, intended for reading/writing checkpoints, logs, application outputs, model serving, or loading large files (e.g. squashfs files). The read-only `/gcs-ro` mountpoint disables parallel downloads and enables the list cache, intended for reading training data. Parallel downloads are not recommended for training workloads; see [GCSFuse documentation](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/cloud-storage-fuse/file-caching#parallel-downloads) for details.
