Background: The neighbor-joining method by Saitou and Nei is a widely used method for constructing phylogenetic trees. The formulation of the method gives rise to a canonical (n3)...
Grid computing is becoming the natural way to aggregate and share large sets of heterogeneous resources. With the infrastructure becoming ready for the challenge, current grid dev...
The calculation of radial distribution functions (RDFs) from molecular dynamics trajectory data is a common and computationally expensive analysis task. The rate limiting step in ...
Shared memory in a parallel computer provides prowith the valuable abstraction of a shared address space--through which any part of a computation can access any datum. Although un...
The productivity of HPC system is determined not only by their performance, but also by their reliability. The conventional method to limit the impact of failures is checkpointing...
