+ | === Cluster for dummies... or really smart people who aren't used to this system yet! === | ||
+ | The BIAC cluster is a Linux-based processor put in place to analyze any type of data. You will work on the cluster though a terminal window by writing commands one line at a time. In order to set up access to the cluster on your computer, you need to be behind the DHE firewall. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To connect to the cluster, you will need [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Connecting to the Cluster == | ||
+ | * Begin by running X-Config in the X-Win32 folder under All Programs on your Start Menu | ||
+ | * Select your cluster profile, aptly named “cluster, | ||
+ | * Alternative: | ||
+ | * Under the X-Win32 tab in your programs select X-Win32 2014 (or whatever year) | ||
+ | * The X-Win32 icon will appear next to the time and date in the bottom right hand corner of your screen | ||
+ | * Right click it then scroll down to “My Connections” | ||
+ | * Select your profile by clicking “cluster” | ||
+ | * If, prompted, enter your cluster password and hit enter (your cluster password may be different from your BIAC password) | ||
+ | * Your command line should appear with username@cluster (this is your home directory on the cluster) in a terminal window | ||
+ | * Now you are “on the cluster,” | ||
+ | |||
+ | == The Interactive Node == | ||
+ | qinteract is also known as the ‘interactive node,’ because it allows you to interact directly with your data on Munin (or whatever server). | ||
+ | * List of packages: http:// | ||
+ | * Getting on: log onto the cluster, in the command line (username@cluster: | ||
+ | * Congratulations! | ||

+ | == EXTRA TIPS == | ||
+ | * Blue “directories” are equivalent to folders, “cd”ing is like double clicking on the folder | ||
+ | * If you command line is gone in the cluster, as in you don’t have the prompt to type something, make sure nothing is open in gedit (for example batchMakeFSL_Data is open using gedit – click out), click ctrl+c | ||
+ | * In order to avoid this, follow commands with an & | ||
+ | * Hit the up arrow in order to go to the previous written command | ||
+ | * Hit tab in order to fill in a file, script, or directory name | ||
+ | * If there are multiple files with that name it’ll fill in up to where they differ | ||
+ | * If you’d like to work the command on all files with that particular prefix, immediately follow the prefix with * (for example “gedit batch*” would open all scripts that start with batch) | ||
+ | * To cd to previous folder type cd .. | ||
+ | * Scripts with tildes (~) are there as a backup service, ignore, don’t use, can be deleted if you make sure the proper script is current (example batch_QA versus batch_QA~) | ||
+ | * By typing qstatall (no folloing arguments necessary), you can look at the active jobs on the cluster | ||
+ | * By typing ls –ltr you’ll have a list of files with a timestamp/ more details | ||
+ | * In order to paste from windows into linux (example gedit or the FSL GUI), copy using right click and paste using the center scroll button | ||
