[Halld-mc] computing power required

[David Lawrence]

Hi Blake,

    If you go to the Offline wiki page 
(http://www.jlab.org/Hall-D/software/wiki/index.php/Offline_Software) 
you'll see a section on computing resources. In that, there is a link to 
"Computer Farms" with contact info for each. It may help you target 
someone with an appropriate cluster.

Regards,
-David
