[BUG]: No such file or directory: '/tmp/heat_0.bin'

Is this a duplicate?

Describe the bug

01.04.01 in C++ tutorial occasionally can't access temporary storage, which can be fixed by deleting and re-starting the runtime. We should move all temporary files generated by C++ labs from /tmp to local directory.

Steps to reproduce

The failure is rather random, not sure what triggers it.

Expected behavior

All cells in 01.04.01 should run without errors.

Actual behavior

01.04.01 in C++ tutorial randomly triggers the following error on Colab:

/content/Sources/ach.py in drawframe(i)
     28 
     29     def drawframe(i):
---> 30         with open(f"/tmp/heat_{i}.bin", 'rb') as f:
     31             height, width = np.fromfile(f, dtype=np.int32, count=2)
     32             data = np.fromfile(f, dtype=np.float32, count=height * width)

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/heat_0.bin'
<Figure size 800x200 with 0 Axes>

Environment

No response

Additional context

No response

@gevtushenko, when I saw this error, it was always because I was not on a Google Colab T4 instance or had been migrated to a different instance. Are you sure that's not what you're seeing?
