Computing cluster
by Andre Gouws 26 Oct '16

26 Oct '16

Many of you will be aware that we have recently experienced a few hardware failures on the YNiC computing cluster. We have now escalated these issues and the manufacturer has committed to attend on site to attempt to resolve the existing issues. Without being too technical, this process is essentially an overhaul of the current cluster and requires two engineers. Obviously, we are doing out utmost to get your cluster up and running again but, considering the scale of the job, please be patient. We will keep you updated. Thanks, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Create CDs of data for your participants
by Antony Morland 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

Dear All, We have a system for providing CDs at YNiC. However, such is the number of requests we have to deal with, we now need to rethink how to provide the anatomical scan data to participants. What’s even more frustrating, is that although we have a system that alerts participants that their CD is ready, 58 remain uncollected. We are therefore being asked to allocate considerable resource to generating CDs that the participants subsequently have little or no interest in. Rethink: Moving forward, we will allow researchers to create data CDs for their participants. The researcher will need to provide their own CD and execute a script. The script, 'Create subject CD', can be run from the 'Applications' menu under 'YNiC Utilities'. Please follow the instructions given by the script and note that you (1) have to have the permission of the participant (2) make sure that the participant receives the CD [you may want to record their signature] and (3) you record who you have sent CDs to. Andre is also putting a webpage together to give guidance. https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/mri/MakeASubjectCD Requests to YNiC for data CDs will no longer be met after 1/11/2016. Thank you Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.
