---+ Workshop

This page is basically a place to brainstorm topics that will be useful to make users aware of. Not everyone need to learn all topics, but we might spend much less time in tickets if users have a better overview of which resources we have available and the best way to use them.

---++ T3 Infra-structure

   * Batch system - Condor 
      * Normal usage - fixed RAM limit per slot/job
      * Partitionable Slots
      * User requirements - importance
      * Using CRAB/Grid tools - environment, Proxy, getenv
   * Storage 
      * Types of storage - NFS, HDFS
      * NFS - past /raidX, /home/$USER - pros/cons
      * HDFS - Distributed filesystems - pros/cons * Network access * POSIX (? Sure...)
   * CRAB, Grid tools, etc...
