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.
