2.1. User Support achievements

During QR11 the number of registered users of the Finnish National Grid environment has grown from 134 to 157.

Some new tools were installed as ARC Run Time Environments to the FGI environment. These tools include: quantum chemistry codes ORCA and Dirac and brain MRI image analysis tool FreeSurfer.

A new command line grid interface: grid Exonerate, became on line on December 2012. This interface automatically distributes large Exonorate based sequence alignment tasks to FGI ( or to any ARC based grid environment). Information about this interface was added to the appdb.egi.eu site. In the same time an updated version of the grid BLAST sequence search tool was taken in use.

Customer support was provided to the NGI user community by email and on site visits. For new customers setting up the ARC client is often the most problematic step. For old user the support requests often relate to technical problems in the FGI environment or bugs in the ARC middleware.

In January 2013, FGI user guide was published as the first guide book in the emerging new web site of CSC: http://datakeskus.csc.fi/web/guest/fgi-user-s-guide
