摘要:
Human Genome Analysis and Image Processing are part of the 'Grand Challenges' in High Performance Computing. The traditional mainframe has become insufficient for these applications in Biocomputing. New scalable parallel processor systems enter the marketplace with superior price/performance. The evaluation process of such a system by an application-oriented benchmark test suite is described. The system is integrated in the client/server structure of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum where 'rightsizing' will eliminate the mainframe completely in the near future.
