In previous distributions the location of X-ray detectors for HKL2000 was defined as /programs/i386-linux/hkl/hklint directory. The directory contained a set of detectors that were frequently used by members of Harrison Lab at HMS. But we recognize the fact that the list is very dynamic and users need to have a different subset. We are therefore changing the HKLDIR variable to point to the hklint directory in your home directories. Before running HKL2000 please create this directory in your home and move any detector files that you frequently use for your data collection to that directory. We will maintain the /programs/share/hklint directory with a subset of some detector formats used by the labs at HMS.

Computing Grid Update
Published October 3 2006
Our 144 CPU computational grid is available to the SBGrid community through the General User Program at no extra charge (www.sbgrid.org/gup). This month’s awardees include Ethan Settembre for SAXS calculations. We are also starting to work on integration with the Open Science Grid (www.opensciencegrid.org) and will update you on our initial installation of the Condor clustering software next month.
