+== 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 40 cores and more than 190 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.
+
+How to log in:
+There are several ways to access the grid:
+ 1. 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.
+ 2. 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.
+ 3. Soon it will also be possible to login with a remote desktop.

+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.
