Implementing HPC Bioinformatics Algorithms

Angela Shiflet, Wofford College

Usage Details

In a Fulbright Specialist visit to Università degli Studi "Magna Graecia" di Catanzaro in Italy, Angela Shiflet and George Shiflet started a project with Mario Cannataro and Pietro Guzzi on developing an educational module on one or more high-performance-computing bioinformatics algorithms. Drs. Cannataro and Guzzi have written a book, Data Management of Protein Interaction Networks (Wiley, 2011), and regularly teach bioinformatics and HPC. The Blue Waters intern would help implement the HPC bioinformatics algorithms in C and MPI and perform timings. The module and programs will be publically available on the web and hopefully will be used at Università degli Studi "Magna Graecia" and other schools.
