Introduction

What the UIG Grid usage overview is, how it is laid out and how to use it.

Assumptions

A basic familiarity with the Unix OS commands are presumed, since all commands will be done from a Unix-based console. This includes Grid commands as well as local machine commands.

If the reader is new to the Grid and its concepts and wants to get started with understanding, writing and running jobs as quickly and efficiently as possible, it is strongly recommended that the chapters are followed in sequence, as they appear on the Site Index page.

Chapter 1 goes through all the basics for setting up the user to be ready to use the Grid. Next, jobs are introduced and how to use them. There is also information on how to set up a suitable User Interface. The later parts (2 and 3) are for advanced users and feature detailed, in-depth information on more complex concepts and operations.
