You may need to download additional (free) software from Microsoft that
may be necessary for BioHPC to work on your web server. The following
packages may be required:
Microsoft Windows SDK
Microsoft .NET 3.0 Runtime
Microsoft SQL Express Advanced
Perl is also required on the cluster nodes.
You may also need Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (SP1 is required for the
interface) if you want to modify and recompile the interface or any of
the accompanying programs.
You will also need a cluster to run your computations. BioHPC supports
clusters built on Microsoft Compute Cluster Server v1 or Cornell's CAC vsched with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (64 bit for MS CCS and 32 bit
for vsched). Please contact us if you'd like to use vsched.
