Hub Management - approving resources, handling abuse reports, resolving tickets

Seminars | 12 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s): Alissa Nedossekina

Once a hub is open for business, it requires some attention. Each project should have one or more managers that look after the hub by approving content, handling abuse reports, responding to support tickets, etc. This seminar walks through common management tasks and shows you how to take care of...

Hub set-up - configuring the "submit" command

Seminars | 12 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s): Steven Clark

Simulation jobs within a tool session are normally executed on the same machine that hosts the session. That's fine for jobs with short execution times, but a few computationally demanding jobs will quickly overwhelm the machine. In that case, jobs can be sent off to computational clusters and...

Uploading and Publishing New Tools

Seminars | 05 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s): Michael McLennan

Using Workspaces to Develop Tools

Seminars | 05 Apr 2010 | Contributor(s): Michael McLennan

One of the most powerful tools on any hub is something we call a workspace, which is a full-featured Linux desktop that you can access any time, any place, from your web browser. Workspaces are fully loaded with the latest open source software, including HUBzero's own Rappture toolkit, Octave, a...

HUBzero overview for proposals

Notes | 12 Mar 2010 | Contributor(s): Michael McLennan, George B. Adams III, Beth Schroeder, Michael Zentner

The HUBzero team has written a few paragraphs that can be used in funding proposals that include a hub. These paragraphs describe HUBzero, include text for your budget justification, and pointers to a data management plan. When putting together the budget for your proposal, consult our online...
