- Configuration:
- 32 Apple G5 Xserve nodes
- Each node has two PowerPC processors (64 CPUs total) and 8GB RAM (256GB total)
- Two Xsan-controlled Apple Xserve RAIDs
- Ethernet connection with one high-speed Fibre Channel switch, and two 1Gb network switches
- One 3000VA UPS
- Software packages:
- Include over 170 open source bioinformatics applications, like BLAST, mpiBLAST, BioConductor, GeneGo, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, OpenEye Software Suite, and HMMER provided by the BioTeam's iNquiry.
- The cluster provides bioinformatics computational services for CSU researchers and some outside collaborators in the Rocky Mountain Regional Center of Excellence in Biodefense (RMRCE). This includes a wide variety of computations, such as DNA/RNA/protein sequence analysis, 2D-gel image analysis, drug discovery and development, virtual high-throughput screening, numerical analysis, electronic structure analysis, phylogenetic analysis, microarray analysis, statistical analysis of biological datasets, molecular and biochemical pathway analysis, genomics and proteomics simulations, and many others.
