 == What is the Mykopat Computing Grid? ==
-The computing grid has been setup for users to be able to analyse very large genetic data sets. A grid of computers is essentially a number of computers linked together by a common management software controller. The management software delegates how the job requests should be handled by the computer resources.
-Currently our grid consists of 54 cores and more than 200 GB of RAM. In addition we have also created a "super computer" by connected together all the Macintosh computers in our building. The combined resources of this "SP" is 32 cores and more than 40 GB of RAM.

+Currently our grid consists of five computers available around the clock for long running high-resource jobs. Four of these have 32 GB RAM, while the last is equipped with 82GB RAM. In addition to this we are also adding normal desktop computers as a part of the grid during non-office hours. Currently this adds somewhat more than 33 extra cores for short-running low-memory tasks.
