v29 v30 1 1 == Welcome to the Mykopat Grid Wiki == 2 2 == What is the Mykopat Computing Grid? == 3 The computing grid has been setup for users to be able to analyse very large genetic data sets, and other analysis requiring long computing times on Linux systems. A grid of computers is essentially a number of computers linked together by a common management software. The management software delegates how the job requests should be handled by the computer resources.3 The computing grid has been setup for users to be able to analyse very large genetic data sets, and other analysis requiring long computing times on Linux systems. A grid of computers is essentially a number of computers linked together by a common grid management software. The management software delegates how the job requests should be handled by the computer resources and most importantly makes sure the resources are shared in a fair manner. 4 4 5 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.5 Currently our grid consists of five computers available around the clock for long running high-resource jobs. These provide 40 cpu cores and 296GB ram. In addition to this we are also adding normal desktop computers as a part of the grid during non-office hours.

From Macs and other unix-like computers you can login using the ssh-command in the terminal. You will then interact with the grid though commands in the terminal. 10 10 1. From Windows computers, you can login using Putty to login to a terminal session. You will then interact with the grid though commands in the terminal. 11 1. There is also an option to start a Remote Desktop on the grid .11 1. There is also an option to start a Remote Desktop on the grid login node. 12 12 13 Login command- click here 14 15 Don't forget to run your jobs through the queue system, otherwise they might just be stopped by the system when the default resource limits are exceeded. 13 Don't forget to run your jobs through the [SunGridEngine grid engine], otherwise they might just be stopped by the system when the default resource limits are exceeded. 16 14 17 15 == Projects == … … 23 21 24 22 * All project files should go into the project directory (/proj/project-name) 25 * Before cd:ing into the project directory, use the `proj` command your role into a member of that project (e.g. once logged in `proj my-project-name` and the `cd proj/my-project-name`) 23 * Before submitting jobs, use the proj command to set your current project (e.g. once logged in `proj my-project-name` and the `cd /proj/my-project-name`) 24 * To conveniently change set current project and change directory into the project home, use `proj -c my-project-name` 25 26 == Project Web Services == 27 For each project a number of WebServices are available to use. These include: 28 29 * [ProjectWebFolder Project web folder] 30 * [ProjectSubversion Subversion for version control of project files] 31 * [ProjectTrac Trac for project documentation (includes a wiki like this, issue handling and a nice browser for subversion)] 32 33 == [wiki:Software Available Software] == 34 35 Here we have a list of installed [wiki:Software]. On these pages, you are encourage to add comments on how the software works (RAM needed, Runtimes etc.) as well, if you think the program is good for the needs specified in the description (here and the software homepage). You might also want to check the OtherSoftware page for hints about software which is better run from your account. 26 36 27 37 == '''[wiki:FrequentlyAskedQuestions Frequently Asked Questions]''' == 28 38 Go here to find out information about common problems (for example: installing software in your local folder) 29 39 30 == Project Web Services ==31 For each project a number of WebServices are available to use.
