Abstract

We have developed a commodity supercomputing environment, ScBioGrid, for supporting bioinformatics research. As an application-specific grid, ScBioGrid is based on ScGrid, which is a scientific computing environment provided by the Supercomputing Centre, Computer Network Information Centre, Chinese Academy of Sciences (SCCAS). The ScBioGrid portal provides a convenient and uniform interface to the bioinformatics resources available on the heterogeneous high-performance computers (HPCs) in SCCAS. In this paper we describe the architecture and services provided by ScBioGrid in detail, and present future work with ScBioGrid.

Acknowledgements

We would like to acknowledge Hong Wu, Haili Xiao, Sungen Deng, and Honghai Zhang for their initial contributions to the building of ScBioGrid. We would also like to thank Tie Niu and Zongyan Cao for their assistance, and other colleagues for helping us to finish our construction of ScBioGrid. This work was supported by the following projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC): “Research on parallel algorithms and implementation aimed at problems of characteristic finding” (60673064), and “Research on basal applications of parallel algorithms for present parallel computer” (60533020).
