-====== Get started ====== 
-ADCI-BGQ is a plug-in in the ADCI software, enabling you to take advantage of the IBM Blue Gene/Q (BGQ) supercomputer located in Toronto, Canada to significantly expedite processing samples and estimating radiation doses.  
- 
-===== Install JRE ===== 
-To use ADCI-BGQ, one prerequisite is that a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is installed on your computer. To install a JRE, perform the following steps: 
-  - If you are using 64-bit Windows, download [[http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u192-b12/750e1c8617c5452694857ad95c3ee230/jre-8u192-windows-x64.exe|jre-8u192-windows-x64.exe]]. If you are using 32-bit Windows, download [[http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u192-b12/750e1c8617c5452694857ad95c3ee230/jre-8u192-windows-i586.exe|jre-8u192-windows-i586.exe]]. 
-  - Double click the downloaded file, and follow the prompts to finish the installation process. 
- 
-===== Get access to the BGQ server ===== 
- 
-To use ADCI-BGQ, one prerequisite is that you have an account on the BGQ server, which authorizes you to use the storage space and run jobs. 
- 
-Your account consists of a user name and a password for logging in. After logging in, you will have two top-level directories (‘home’ and ‘scratch’). The ‘home’ directory has a smaller storage capacity and is backed up regularly; the ‘scratch’ directory is larger but not backed up. For more knowledge about the BGQ file system, visit https://docs.scinet.utoronto.ca/index.php/BGQ. 
- 
-To obtain an account, please contact Dr. Peter Rogan (Email: <progan@uwo.ca>, Tel: 1-(519) 661-4255).
