Hi Lance, RLX Technologies has an evaluation program as well for the turnkey RLX BLAST Cluster Solution.=20 This white paper might be helpful http://www.rlx.com/pdf/RLXSCCTechWP_v1.0.pdf, as well as the info on = the RLX Cluster Solutions http://www.rlx.com/solutions/solutions_clust_blast.php I believe that the Apple optimizations are only for BLASTN searches - = please correct me if I'm wrong on Apple. -- ________________________________________ Mike McCardle Systems Software Engineer RLX Technologies, Inc. mike.mccardle@rlxtechnologies.com http://www.rlxtechnologies.com -----Original Message----- From: Steve Gaudet [mailto:SGaudet@turbotekcomputer.com] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 11:02 AM To: 'bioclusters@bioinformatics.org' Cc: gurgul@helix.mgh.harvard.edu Subject: RE: [Bioclusters] Oscar Linux cluster and Local Blast Server Hello Lance, > At Massachusetts General Hospital, we are looking to set up a local=20 > blast server, preferably with the NCBI algorithm, on a computing > cluster.
