Entry  Thu May 11 14:38:10 2017, Sam Stafford, Sample OSC batch job setup, Software osc_batch_jobs.txt
Batch jobs on OSC are initiated through the Portable Batch System (PBS).  This is the recommended way to run stuff on OSC clusters.
Attached is a sample PBS script that copies files to temporary storage on the OSC cluster (also recommended) and runs an analysis program.
Info on batch processing is at https://www.osc.edu/supercomputing/batch-processing-at-osc.

Entry  Thu Apr 27 18:28:22 2017, Sam Stafford (Also Slightly Jacob), Installing AnitaTools on OSC, Software OSC_build.txt
Jacob Here, Just want to add how I got AnitaTools to see FFTW:

1) echo $FFTW3_HOME to find where the lib and include dir is.

2) Next add the following line to the start of cmake/modules/FindFFTW.cmake
Entry  Tue Apr 25 10:35:43 2017, Jude Rajasekera, ShelfMC Parameter Space Scan, Software ParameterSpaceScan_instructions.txtsetup.shscheduler.sh
These scripts allow you to do thousands of ShelfMC runs while varying certain parameters of your choice. As is, the attenuation length, reflection,
ice thickness, firn depth, station depth is varied over certain rages; in total, the whole Parameter Space Scan does 5250 runs on a cluster like Ruby or
KingBee. The scripts and instructions are attached below. 
Entry  Tue Apr 25 10:22:50 2017, Jude Rajasekera, ShelfMC Cluster Runs, Software multithread_shelfmc.shmultithread_shelfmc_walkthrough.txt
Doing large runs of ShelfMC can be time intensive. However, if you have access to a computing cluster like Ruby or KingBee, where you are given a node
with multiple processors, ShelfMC runs can be optimized by utilizing all available processors on a node. The multithread_shelfmc.sh script automates
these runs for you. The script and instructions are attached below.

Entry  Wed Mar 22 18:01:23 2017, Brian Clark, Advice for Using the Ray Trace Correlator, Analysis 
If you are trying to use the Ray Trace Correlator with AraRoot, you will probably encounter some issues as you go. Here is some advice that Carl Pfendner
found, and Brian Clark compiled.

Please note that it is extremely important that your AntennaInfo.sqlite table in araROOT contain the ICRR versions of both Testbed

Entry  Thu Mar 16 09:01:50 2017, Amy Connolly, Elog instructions, Other 
Log into kingbee.mps.ohio-state.edu first, then log into radiorm.physics.ohio-state.edu.

From Keith Stewart 03/16/17:  It appears that radiorm SSH from offsite is closed. So you will need to be on an OSU network physically
or via VPN. fox is also blocked from offsite as well. Kingbee should still be available for now. If you want to use it as a jump host to get to radiorm
