By default an individual user workflow job run is limited to a 12 hour run time, 2 gigabytes of ram and 10 gigabytes diskspace.  Exceeding these constraints will cause the termination of the workflow and possibly loss of any results. Currently there is no limit to the number of user workflow jobs that can be run, but this is a shared resource and activity deemed as abuse or overuse may result in termination of jobs. 

What is a sandboxed environment?

It is the name of the environment we use to run the workflows in on the CAMERA cluster.  Every workflow job is run under a special restricted environment we call a "sandbox" with limited access to linux binaries and filesystems.  This is done for security reasons and prevents a workflow job from seeing data it is not supposed to access or from effecting any other workflow job or the cluster.
