mpiBLAST

We call for your help with the Japanese translations for project summaries. The submitted translations will be posted after simple evaluation. (Not only the translation itself is going to be checked, but we also make sure it's clear of wiki format problems. Especially problems that are related to the layout, such as line breaks and links, will be checked, so please give heed. When there appears to be a problem with the translation itself or the layout, we may not be able to post your translation. We often see problematic cases related to links. When there's going to be a line of Japanese text right after the URL, please make sure to leave a space to separate.) Also, even with projects that may already have their summaries translated, if you find an outdated translation or typographical errors, please update. Login to start translating. When you are done, you will find your name at the bottom of the summary as the translator.

You are not Logged in. If you submit this translation, your name will not show on the this project page (will be logged as "translated by an anonymous user").

mpiBLAST is an MPI based parallel implementation
of NCBI BLAST. It consists of a pair of programs
that replace formatdb and blastall with versions
that execute BLAST jobs in parallel on a cluster
of computers with MPI installed. There are two
primary advantages to using mpiBLAST versus
traditional BLAST. First, mpiBLAST splits the
database across each node in the cluster. Because
each node's segment of the database is smaller it
can usually reside in the buffer-cache, yielding a
significant speedup due to the elimination of disk
I/O. Second, it allows BLAST users to take
advantage of efficient, low-cost Beowulf clusters
because interprocessor communication demands are
low. mpiBLAST achieves super-linear speedup in
situations where the database is too large to fit
into RAM, and near linear speedup in other
situations. It does not require a dedicated cluster.
