Abstract

Summary: IQPNNI is a program to infer maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from DNA or protein data with a large number of sequences. We present an improved and MPI-parallel implementation showing very good scaling and speedup behavior. Availability: IQPNNI (http://www.bi.uni-duesseldorf.de/software/iqpnni) is written in C++, executable on UNIX/Linux, Windows and MacOS systems. (Free) MPI libraries can be found at http://www.lam-mpi.org/mpi/implementations/. Contact: haeseler@cs.uni-duesseldorf.de
