Embarrassingly parallel problems are characterised by a very small amount of information to be exchanged among the parts they are split in, during their parallel execution. As a consequence they do not require sophisticated, low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnection networks but can be efficiently computed in…

—Parallelization has become a cornerstone of modern computing, influencing everything from high-performance supercomputers to everyday mobile devices. This paper presents a comprehensive guide on the fundamentals of parallelization that every computer scientist should know, beginning with a historical perspective that…

Embarrassingly parallel problems can be split in parts that are characterized by a really low (or sometime absent) exchange of information during their computation in parallel. As a consequence they can be effectively computed in parallel exploiting commodity hardware, hence without particularly sophisticated…

Parallel computing divides calculations into smaller problems and solves these simultaneously, using multiple computing elements (hereafter “workers”). In the biological sciences, many computationally intensive problems are “embarrassingly parallel” , where almost all calculations can be completed in parallel. Common…

Nowadays, we are to find out solutions to huge computing problems very rapidly. It brings the idea of parallel computing in which several machines or processors work cooperatively for computational tasks. In the past decades, there are a lot of variations in perceiving the importance of parallelism in computing…

—Arrival of multicore systems has enforced a new scenario in computing, the parallel and distributed algorithms are fast replacing the older sequential algorithms, with many challenges of these techniques. The distributed algorithms provide distributed processing using distributed file systems and processing units…

Quantum Package is an open-source programming environment for quantum chemistry specially designed for wave function methods. Its main goal is the development of determinant-driven selected configuration interaction (sCI) methods and multi-reference second-order perturbation theory (PT2). The determinant-driven…

This paper focuses on the latest research and critical reviews on modern computing architectures, software and hardware accelerated algorithms for bioinformatics data analysis with an emphasis on one of the most important sequence analysis applications-hidden Markov models (HMM). We show the detailed performance…

Background R is the preferred tool for statistical analysis of many bioinformaticians due in part to the increasing number of freely available analytical methods. Such methods can be quickly reused and adapted to each particular experiment. However, in experiments where large amounts of data are generated, for example…

Direct gravitational simulations of n-body systems have a time complexity O(n 2 ), which gets computationally expensive as the number of bodies increases. Distributing this workload to multiple cores significantly speeds up the computation and is the fundamental principle behind parallel computing. This project…

The usage of workflows has led to progress in many fields of science, where the need to process large amounts of data is coupled with difficulty in accessing and efficiently using High Performance Computing platforms. On the one hand, scientists are focused on their problem and concerned with how to process their data.…

Particle-based reaction-diffusion models offer a high-resolution alternative to the continuum reaction-diffusion approach, capturing the discrete and volume-excluding nature of molecules undergoing stochastic dynamics. These methods are thus uniquely capable of simulating explicit self-assembly of particles into…

Advances in graph algorithmics have allowed in-depth study of many natural objects from molecular biology or chemistry to social networks. Particularly in molecular biology and cheminformatics, understanding complex structures by identifying conserved sub-structures is a key milestone towards the artificial design of…

Quicksort is an important algorithm that uses the divide and conquer concept, and it can be run to solve any problem. The performance of the algorithm can be improved by implementing this algorithm in parallel. In this paper, the parallel sorting algorithm named the Multi-Deque Partition Dual-Deque Merge Sorting…

This paper presents a new, parallel implementation of clustering and demonstrates its utility in greatly speeding up the process of identifying homologous proteins. Clustering is a technique to reduce the number of comparison needed to find similar pairs in a set of n elements such as protein sequences. Precise…

Several prediction problems in Computational Biology and Genomic Medicine are characterized by both big data as well as a high imbalance between examples to be learned, whereby positive examples can represent a tiny minority with respect to negative examples. For instance, deleterious or pathogenic variants are…

Protein conformational landscapes contain the functionally relevant information useful for understanding biological processes. Mapping out conformational landscapes provides valuable insights into protein behaviors and biological phenomena, and has relevance to therapeutic design. While experimental structural biology…

Computing electrostatic interactions remains the bottleneck of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations despite more than a century of effort in developing methods to accelerate the calculation. Previously we have developed the Spherical Grid and Treecode (SGT) and Gauss-Legendre-Spherical-t (GLST) algorithms for…
