Abstract

Computational clusters have long provided a mechanism for the acceleration of high performance computing (HPC) applications. As today’s supercomputers approach the petaflop scale, however, they are also exhibiting an increase in heterogeneity. This heterogeneity spans a range of technologies, from multiple operating systems to hardware accelerators and novel architectures. Because of the exceptional acceleration some of these heterogeneous architectures provide, they are being embraced as viable tools for HPC applications, particularly in the area of biological sequence analysis.
