<P>This page was created to provide the information for
users of SkyNet about cluster, Linux and tools available for this system.
I hope these pages will be useful for everybody else.</P>
<P><b>SkyNet</b> is a cluster of several PCs under Linux OS. The
cluster has shared disk space and some other resources (print service,
nqs, NW emulation, time server, WWW). NFS space is
available for the cluser machenes only (see the paragraph about
<b>Access Restrictions</b> in the
<a href="SkyInfo.html">info</a> about the cluster resources).</P>
<P>The machinses of SkyNet are used for the same aims as
any UNIX workstation in HEP-centers that is for data
processing, Monte-Carlo simulation (including GEANT and PYTHIA
simulations) etc. The processing power of cluster
is enough to use it for the such challenge task as a <b>full</b>
GEANT simulation of detector CMSS with a speed comparable
with the fastest machines in CERN.</p>
