Welcome

BioMed Engine is a Linux cluster built to provide a high performance, scalable, parallel computing environment for biomedical related research. The purpose is to facilitate current research initiatives and attract new research.

BioMed Engine was built with HP ProLiant DL380 G3 server, HP ProLiant Blade G2 servers, ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switches, Tera Bytes Storage (see details...) and a cluster distribution called Rocks, a complete cluster package based on Redhat Linux with the latest kernel and management utilities.
