• Batch mode programs

H Are run by typing commands directly to computer, or by putting commands into a text file (script) and later executing them

J Good points about batch mode

H Can process new datasets exactly the same as old ones

H Can link together a sequence of programs to make a customized analysis (a personal pipeline)

H Some analyses take a long time

L Bad points about batch mode

H Learning curve is “all at once” rather than gradual

H If you are, like, under age 35, you may not know how to type commands into a computer

≤ At least we don’t make you use punched cards
