 +**Note that this is a computer cluster!** When you log in you will be on the '​head'​ node, this node is not meant for running programs! If you try and run programs on the head node the system administration will kill your program and send you an angry email. ​ To run programs you must use the Sun Grid Engine (SGE). ​
 +
 +The SGE takes in very simple shell scripts and assigns them to a non-head node in the cluster. ​ You can provide commands when you submit the shell scripts (request a bigger node, parallelize across multiple nodes, etc).  As the scripts are submitted they are queued, if there is heavy usage on the server your script may not run immediately.  ​

 During the Spring 2015 [[https://​www.soe.ucsc.edu/​people/​ed | Ed Green ]] was able to let students use his server edser (edser2.ucsc.edu). The server has 390 G of RAM, which is necessary for certain assembly algorithms (Discovar //de novo//​). ​ During the Spring 2015 [[https://​www.soe.ucsc.edu/​people/​ed | Ed Green ]] was able to let students use his server edser (edser2.ucsc.edu).
