  • Software Installation Instructions
    Spatial-temporal models in epidemiology Dr Gavin Shaddick and Prof. Jim Zidek University of Bath and University of British Columbia SOFTWARE INSTALLATION Although it will be possible to run through how to obtain and install the software during the workshop, it would be very useful if participants could try and install the software before the day. Software required: R and WinBUGS / OpenBUGS Instructions for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux are given below: R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. BUGS is a software package for performing Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampling. The user specifies a statistical model, of (almost) arbitrary complexity, by simply stating the relationships between related variables. The software includes an ‘expert system’, which determines an appropriate MCMC (Markov chain Monte Carlo) scheme (based on the Gibbs sampler) for analysing the specified model. The user then controls the execution of the scheme and is free to choose from a wide range of output types. There are two main versions of BUGS, namely WinBUGS and OpenBUGS. This site is dedicated to OpenBUGS, an open-source version of the package, on which all future development work will be focused. OpenBUGS, therefore, represents the future of the BUGS project. WinBUGS, on the other hand, is an established and stable, stand-alone version of the software, which will remain available but not further developed. The latest versions of OpenBUGS (from v3.0.7 onwards) have been designed to be at least as efficient and reliable as WinBUGS over a wide range of test applications.

    COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING AND RUNNING PC-GAMESS / FIREFLY UNDER MAC OS X (Tested on Tiger & Leopard) FOR MAC INTEL MACHINES ONLY!!

To view the most current version of PC-GAMESS/Firefly, you will want to visit the official project homepage at: http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/index.html There is also a Mac specific page posted at http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/macosx.html although you should always also visit the main home page to find out about major project announcements, updated and general points of interest for all PC-GAMESS/Firefly users. Lastly, there is also a Mac beta webpage located at http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/macosx_beta.html that may contain newer versions that are provided on the main public release website. Please note that anything from the beta website may or may not work as expected and is intended for the adventurous in spirit and those requiring a particular new feature that is not yet available in the last public release. STEP 1 :: Getting friendly with the UNIX roots of your Mac Although a rather extensive set of graphical Mac native applications are provided to submit and terminate jobs as well as to test whether all dependencies are correctly intalled to run PC-GAMESS/Firefly for Mac it is still recommended that you familiarize yourself with the UNIX roots of your Mac.

  • Installation Notes & Usage Guide for Mac OS X Version of Firefly V. 8.1.0
    COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING AND RUNNING FIREFLY UNDER MAC OS X Release 8.0.0 for Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion & Mountain Lion FOR MAC INTEL MACHINES ONLY!! There is no PPC platform version available (nor will there be one in the future). UPDATES FOR 8.0.0 RELEASE OF FIREFLY The list of changes is detailed below for all modifications since the 7.1.G release. Read the documentation relevant for the 7.1.F and 7.1.G releases below the update guides for all common and unchanged information. These notes are ONLY relevant for the Firefly for Mac release (Linux and Windows releases may differ). • Compatibility for Sandy Bridge & Ivy Bridge hardware. Support for Lion and Mountain Lion OS X. Mountain Lion users must install X11 following Apple prompts when a Firefly job is for the first time. • The Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion installers are unified. Leopard users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Snow Leopard for faster Firefly timings from the unified installer. o A Leopard compatible version (with slower timings) is available upon special request. • Fixed error checking subroutine for all Drag & Drop Applications to ensure that user does not run job on more than the number of cores present. Changes to various OS X releases had broken the previous code. • Added hyper-threading support to allow running jobs with double the number of physical cores and matching the number of logical cores present on any given machine. Please note that not all job types will benefit from hyper-threading. In addition, better or worse performance using a hyper-threaded type run will be based upon the particulars of your given hardware.

REMIX AND REUSE OF SOURCE CODE IN SOFTWARE PRODUCTION BY M. CAMERON JONES DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor J. Stephen Downie, Chair Professor Michael B. Twidale, Director of Research Associate Professor Kyratso (Karrie) G. Karahalios Professor Linda C. Smith ABSTRACT The means of producing information and the infrastructure for disseminating it are constantly changing. The web mobilizes information in electronic formats, making it easier to copy, modify, remix, and redistribute. This has changed how information is produced, distributed, and used. People are not just consuming information; they are actively producing, remixing, and sharing information, using the web as a platform for creativity and production. This is true of software development as well. It is frequently commented by programmers and researchers who study software development, that programmers frequently copy and paste code. Although this practice is widely acknowledged, it is rarely studied directly, or explicitly accounted for in models of software development. However, this attitude is changing as software becomes more ubiquitous, and software development practice shifts away from the formal models of software engineering, towards a post-modernist perspective.
