[Halld-mc] [Halld-offline] computing power required

[Richard Jones]

Blake,

Here at UConn we have 180,000 cpu-hours/month of compute time, of which 
about half of it is used locally and the other half is idle.  You can 
submit your jobs from your own workstation using the globus grid 
toolkit.  To get started, you need to get a personal grid certificate.  
If you are interested, please go to the registration web site at the 
link below and fill out the form.
