Scout

Scout is one of the major components of the UTCS Computing Clusters, along with Mastodon and a large number of desktop Linux and Solaris machines. These machines are available to the faculty, staff, and students of the UT Computer Sciences Department. All that is required to use them is a UTCS UNIX login account. For information on getting started, see the UTCS local Condor documentation.
