TCB::SysLoads - TCB System Loads and Supercomputer Time Tracking
================================================================

TCB::SysLoads is a DBIx::Frame object written to keep track of system
loads, both local and remote, at the Theoretical and Computational
Biophysics Group at UIUC.  It provides an administrative web interface for
adding and reading this information, plus a series of scripts for loading
this information and a series of CGIs for extracting the information into
graphs.  

Specific tables are described in the following modules:

  TCB::System::SysLoad - local system loads
  TCB::System::SuperComp - daily remaining time on supercomputers
  TCB::System::Centers - list of supercomputer center machines

There are many scripts that are not auto-installed with this package; look
through the distribution carefully for example scripts and files.

Prerequisites
=============

You must have the following modules installed:

  TCB::System		v0.99
  DBIx::Frame		v1.05

You will also need a running database (mysql is the only one tested), and 
permission to either use the existing contents or create new ones.

Installation Notes
==================

Installing this software is easy:

  perl Makefile.pl
  make
  make test
  make install

Database creation should be taken care of with TCB::System.

Documentation
=============

All of the documentation is in the manual pages - 'man TCB::SysLoads' after
installation, or 'pod2text TCB/SysLoads.pm | less' right now.  'perldoc
TCB::SysLoads' probably also works.
