Our local computer workstations and storage are administered by the ?Physics Computer Group. Contact help (at) physics.utexas.edu if you have technical issues or for an account (undergraduates will need to ask Peter Onyisi to send the email for them). Once you are logged in, you will have access to the full set of ATLAS and CERN software, as well as backed up space for code (/code) and a 14 TB data storage space (/data). You can ssh to the machines from off-campus.

Setting up ATLAS software on the workstations
The ATLAS software is distributed to us via CVMFS, a caching filesystem that automatically pulls updates from CERN on demand. To gain access to ATLAS and CERN software, run the following lines at the bash prompt:
export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase/ . /cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/ATLASLocalRootBase/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
(you can put these lines in your .bash_profile
to execute them automatically on login). The following scripts are useful:
asetup
to set up an ATLAS releaselocalSetupROOT
to set up the latest ROOT releaselocalSetupGlite
to set up basic Grid tools (includingvoms-proxy-init
to get a Grid proxy)localSetupDQ2Client
to set up the DQ2 tools to browse and download ATLAS Grid datasetslocalSetupPandaClient
to set up the ATLAS Panda Grid job submission tools
