[BioBrew Users] post installation?

[Glen Otero]

Soumyadeep-

I guess it's time to post the full BioBrew User's Guide. The User's 
Guide I'm going to post is the one my company distributes with clusters 
we install for people using Callident Rx, our base cluster solution.  
Except for the few extra steps noted in the BioBrew 1.0 README and 
Install Pictorial needed to get BioBrew up and running, the manual 
contains all the goodies needed to prep you for world domination. It 
has the answers to your questions about how to run mpi jobs and testing 
the cluster with Linpack. Page 41 has information on providing web 
access to the cluster. With regard to getting the bio apps running, the 
directories only need be put into users' paths. Joe Landman has some 
very useful scripts (run_mpibalst, run_mpiblastrc, sge_mpiblast) for 
running mpiBLAST that I recommend people look into and adapt for 
running mpiblast  in BioBrew. The scripts can be found at 
http://downloads.scalableinformatics.com/.

Hope this helps. Comments and suggestions on the manual and software 
are encouraged.
