   * If you need a pdf-a validator (e.g. for your thesis), you can use  `/lnet/ms/projects/verapdf/checkpdf` in the ufal internal network, which is a wrapper for the verapdf tool.

 +==== Faster LaTeX compilation ====
 +   * You should delete the packages you don't need from the preambule (not only for speed reasons).
 +   * Include just the chapter (or section) you are currently working on, i.e. comment out the inclusion of other chapters or use ''\includeonly''.
 +   * When separating e.g. each chapter into a separate file and each chapter starts on a new page, you can use ''\include{chapter.tex}'' instead of ''\input{chapter.tex}'', so the auxiliary files of the unchanged chapters from the previous compilation can speedup the compilation (see [[https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/246/when-should-i-use-input-vs-include|details]]).
 +   * You can use ''\includegraphics[draft]{...}'', which turns off rendering of images (which is usually a too high price for the speed).
 +   * If you are using complex tikz pictures you can convert them first to pdf manually and include the pdfs, so they are not compiled again and again (or you can try the externalization library to do this automatically).
 +   * And when compiling locally, you can use latexmk -pvc to automatically compile a given file whenever it is saved. This does not really speedup the compilation, but it allows you to have a screen split into the editor and pdf viewer (so you can simulate Overleaf GUI, possibly including the forward/inverse search using [[https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/118489/what-exactly-is-synctex|synctex]]), so that you can continue working, while the compilation runs on background.
 ===== TAR archive mounting ===== ===== TAR archive mounting =====
 If you work with data consisting of many small files, you **should** store them in tar archives to save inodes and use LUSTRE filesystem efficiently. There is a way to mount a tar archive to a specific directory in a similar way you would mount an ISO image. You can use this command to //mount// (read-only) ARCHIVE (possibly compressed) to DIRECTORY: If you work with data consisting of many small files, you **should** store them in tar archives to save inodes and use LUSTRE filesystem efficiently.
