The 1.0 release of WinBioinfTools might seem like a modest event; as of this writing, the project has 44 downloads. High Performance Computing (HPC) is a small community, granted, and the number of HPC applications for bioinformatics is a small subset... more

I’m going to tell a story that starts in Indiana, but really it’s about Brazil. Once upon a time “scientific computing” was nearly synonymous with “Fortran”. Today, though, just about any high level language can be used to write High Performance Computing... more

I work in the cluster business. I can tell you that all too often I have felt like Alice trying to hold a conversation with Humpty Dumpty in Looking Glass Land.
