Abstract
We propose to build a high performance bioinformatics cluster at the University of South Dakota. The cluster is based on the 32-node (64 CPUs) high performance machine funded by the BRIN (Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network) program. We will integrate it with the state-of-the-art bioinformatics software environment. The resulting cluster will serve as a high performance platform for bioinformatics research at the University of South Dakota and the State of South Dakota. It will also act as a platform to conduct high performance computing. Specifically, we propose to investigate the performance of processor virtualization, a type of high performance computing technique, in bioinformatics context.
The proposed project is expected to make an important impact on the bioinformatics and high performance computing research at the University and within the State. We have already made some initial efforts and gained valuable experience in this direction. Our experience and existing strength will ensure the project can be carried out fully as proposed.
