[labnetwork] Mercury -- A Laboratory Information and Management Sytem -- report available

[Katalin VOROS]

 We compiled a detailed report on Mercury, the Berkeley computer lab
management system.

It is available on line at
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2014/EECS-2014-149.html

Authors: Todd Merport, Alexander Proskurowski, and Katalin Voros.

Abstract:

Mercury is a computer management and information system designed
specifically to operate the

Berkeley Marvell NanoLab and to use laboratory resources efficiently. The
components of Mercury are a

relational database management system (Ingres), daemons (background
processes), and clients, in a dual,

three tier application. This report describes the system design, database
details, implementation technologies,

and it gives some detailed examples. The Mercury system has been in
real-time operation since

December 2009 in the UC Berkeley NanoLab, with 99.9% uptime.
