BioBrew-v4.1.2

BioBrew is a collection of open-source applications for life scientists and an in-house project at Bioinformatics.Org. The BioBrew Roll for Rocks can be used to create Rocks/BioBrew Linux, a distribution customized for both cluster and bioinformatics computing: it automates cluster installation, includes all the HPC software a cluster enthusiast needs, and contains popular bioinformatics applications.

Used in many cluster systems today! To the right, a Rocks/BioBrew cluster running at the Supercomputing Conference, November 2003. Built by Glen Otero, the cluster shown was part of a larger system containing 192 nodes. Each node contained dual Xeons and used Infiniband. It clocked in at over 1 TFLOPS (one Trillion Floating-Point Operations Per Second) of performance, which would have made it one of the 500 fastest computers in the world (though not listed on top500.org). The ticket price for the cluster was USD 1 million. This part of the cluster was touring the world and was seen at expos in Arizona, California, China and Spain.
