Services  IT Infrastructure   | Wiki Server   | Apple Xserve G5 cluster for high-performance computing Our bioinformatics applications are built on 18 Xserve G5 cluster nodes with 64-bit G5 processors and robust, UNIX-based Mac OSX server operating system. Apple G5 processor has combined double-precision floating-point performance with the Velocity Engine for vector-accelerated arithmetic, superscalar G5 processors deliver impressive computational power . Our cluster file system share terabytes of data over an ultrafast Fibre Channel network. Apple Xsan enables scale-out file services for larger clusters or extremely high I/O performance for small clusters directly attached to the SAN. 　 Inquiry Request Form 　 iNquiry cluster deployment for Bioinformatics iNquiry is a ready-to-use cluster and web portal optimized for use in life science informatics settings. It comes preconfigured with hundreds of open source scientific applications-like mpiBLAST, EMBOSS and HMMER- and can easily be extended to support additional commercial, open-source or internally developed applications. iNquiry uses Sun Grid Engine to provide the distributed computing and resource management foundation. Application integration is controlled via an extensible XML-based framework.
