GRID Lab - SDSS-CC Technical Documentation

G.R.I.D. Lab¶

Overview¶

The Geo-Research, Imaging, & Design computer lab (GRID Lab), strictly speaking, is not a SDSS-CC resource, it can be a useful resource for workflows that require Windows (only) based software and other GUI interfaces. GRID Lab consists of onsite resources, including computers, scanners, and wide-format printers, and remotely accessible Virtual Machines (VMs). For more information, see the gridlab docs:
