Questions regarding the use of specific software packages should be directed to Celeste Brown

All of the IBEST Systems use Unix based operating systems (Linux, Mac OS, Solaris). This means that you will need to know at least some basic UNIX functionality. A good UNIX tutorial for the beginner can be found here.

James is posting notes about how he uses the system, including the little odd scripts he develops. This might be interesting if you want some examples of how to use Unix systems for bio-stuff, or if you want to see the kind of scripts and programs that someone develops when they have to. I'm not egotistical, and these may not be beautiful scripts, but perhaps someone will benefit from seeing them in the context of a thought process analyzing bio-data. To see this experiment in brain dumping, look here.

Navigate to the Clusters page to view a list of tutorials and utilities related to running on the IBEST Beowulf Clusters. For assistance with the utilities or tutorials contact the Cluster Administrator. These will grow as we continue to write more in-house utilities and create more tutorials.

The IBEST page is a great place for us to advertise. A way for select users to edit the page is coming, but until then, see the IBEST website wiki page to see how you can help improve the website.
