ABSTRACT

Recently, amount of the data such as sequences is being increased rapidly due to deploying computational technique and advance of experiment tools in the biological areas. In bioinformatics, it is very significant to extract the knowledge from such huge biological data. Sequence comparisons are most frequently used to predict the function of the genes or proteins. However, it takes so much time to process the persistently increasing data. In this paper, we propose hardware-based grid, CGRID(Chungbuk National University GRID), to improve performance and complement existing middleware-only approach and apply it in the sequence comparison. Hardware-based approach is easy to construct, maintain, and manage the grid as not requiring the software installation individually for every node. We reduce orthologous database construction time from 33 weeks to just a week. Furthermore, CGRID guarantees that the performance increases proportionally as adding the nodes.
