    CVBIG (http://www.cvbig.org) meets monthly in Davis, California and maintains a mailing list.

    The Central Valley Bioinformatics Interest Group is a collection of biologists and programmers using and developing bioinformatic tools to solve problems in fields ranging from gene discovery to directed evolution, molecular diagnostics, and targeted therapy. Members come from both academic and industrial laboratories where they work on the bench or at the workstation. We present our work, ask questions, share tips and tricks, or just hang out at our monthly meetings.

biocluster and beowulf cluster
Submitted by Nobody ; posted on Thursday, July 3, 2003
Hello ,I amhopping soeone can help me get to the correct answer here. We are looking to create a Bioinformatics area at this university. My concern is can the Biology department be restricted to a Biocluster(because Bioinformatics problems are/may not be so called paralle aware)for it's high performance computing? My background is in mathematics and computing so I am not equipped, per se, to assess this but given that you have other areas in the Biology department(molecular for one) and this will be,initially, the only cluster, will it not restrict or make it difficult to perform true parallel processing, as you could with a Beowulf cluster?
