The
Facility in Detail
|
|
|
|
- Paracel
GeneMatcher2 - extremely fast hardware acceleration
of HMM, Smith-Waterman, and Genewise algorithms. Hundreds
of times faster than a dual 1 GHz PC.
- Paracel
BlastMachine (44 CPU cluster)- optimal for large BLAST
searches, such as very large query sequences, or batch
submission of hundreds or thousands of query sequences
against a database. Implements all variants of BLAST
including MegaBLAST and PSI-BLAST.
- ROCKS
Linux Cluster - 88 CPU Intel Xeon cluster. Each compute
node contains two 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon processors with
2 GB of memory. Nodes are interconnected with high-speed,
low-latency 2 Gbits/sec Myrinet networking and are
optimized for running MPI programs. Also available
for running standard serial programs.
- Sun
Fire V880 - for computations requiring large amounts
of memory or mulithreading. Has 8 CPUs and 32 GB of
memory.
- Oracle
Database - for large-scale database projects.
- MySQL
Database - for database projects.
- Paracel
TranscriptAssembler software - the best EST clustering
and assembly package currently available, includes
detection of alternative splicing and chimeric transcripts.
- Paracel
GenomeAssembler software - very high-quality sequence
assembly package.
- A
growing number of publicly available software packages
are also supported, and we are always open to adding
whatever is needed by individual investigators.
