BCF can help you migrate computationally and data intensive analyses to the UA's High-Performance Computer , UA's ICE Cluster, or the Condor Grid .

Get results faster by submitting large jobs to the campus high performance computer. You may obtain an account through UITS and BCF can help get you started on running the programs.

Typical applications: BLAST, CLUSTAL, HMMER, FASTA, PAML suite, SNAP exon finder, PaCE EST Clustering, etc.

Grid Computing: Many computationally intensive analysis applications are not designed to run in parallel and have long run times (serial jobs).  These applications are well suited for using grid technology to harvest idle CPU's on campus. To learn more about this technology visit this Nature Web Matters article. To donate your CPU cycles for on campus projects visit the UA Grid page.

A partial list of available programs for UA grid: PAUP, GENETREE, MrBayes, PROML, PUZZLE, HON-NEW, HON3 (for larger inputs), PAML suite.
