Abstract

One of the advantages of using multi-agent systems in solving many problems is their high scalability adequately to the demand for computing power. This important feature underlies our agent-based system for protein structure similarity searching. In this paper, we present the general architecture of the system, implementation details, communication between agents, distribution of databases, and user interface. Moreover, presented results of numerical experiments show that distributing the computational procedure across multiple computers results in significant acceleration of the search process.
