Hello Friends,

It has been long time because being busy in our
documentation and other stuffs.Learn about Linux clusters.

clustering:

Network multiple processors together to form a unified and
more powerful computing system, are becoming a major technology in the
bioinformatics industry. ... dozens, if not hundreds of these
processors or "nodes" [are used] for the explicit purpose of gene
sequencing, proteomic research, or drug discovery and development.

and Drug Development" Genome.


Linux has an edge here. It has been used to make enormous
clusters of computers. In October 2002, ComputerWorld magazine said:
"Linux clusters provide supercomputer-type performance at a fraction
of the expense." The same article reported that Merrill Lynch runs a
cluster of 50 Linux computers. In March 2005, Forbes magazine reported
that: "Linux now has become so technically powerful that it lays claim
to a prestigious title--it runs more of the world's top supercomputers
than any other operating system." (by Daniel Lyons March 15, 2005).
