Using Jetstream for Bioinformatics

Screen Cast Videos | Links: Download | YouTube

Here we introduce the NSF/XESED Jetstream on-demand virtual machine system that we will use for large-scale bioinformatics calculations during this course.

Notes:

Jetstream is a cloud-based on-demand virtual machine system funded by the National Science Foundation. It will provide us with UNIX based computers (what we call “virtual machine instances”) that look and feel just like a regular Linux workstation but with thousands of times the computing power!

Here we cover configuring and connecting to Jetstream to supplement these detailed step-by-step instructions.
