Abstract

In this paper, we present BioGrid, a novel computing resource that combines advantages of grid computing technology with bioinformatics parallel applications. The grid environment permits the sharing of a large amount of idle computing resources and data. The investigation of bioinformatics demands orders of magnitude of computing resources and in parallel, the biological data are growing in such a high speed. By using BioGrid, we plan to integrate and share resources and biological data using the grid computing technology. Still in this paper, the well-known FASTA application is performed as matter of testing and analysis in our grid computing platform, as goal to show the improved efficiency and reduced computation time.
