生物信息学家正在处理越来越多的计算密集型任务。与此同时，工作站正在转向多核架构，甚至大规模多核可能很快成为常态。任务袋（BoT）应用程序在生物信息学中经常遇到。它们由大量独立的计算密集型任务组成。本文介绍了PAR，一个可扩展的，动态的，并行的和分布式的执行引擎的任务袋。PAR的目标是多核架构和小型集群。显示了在两个不同应用中使用PAR获得的加速度。
Bioinformaticians are tackling increasingly computation intensive tasks. In the meantime, workstations are shifting towards multi-core architectures and even massively multi-core may be the norm soon. Bag-of-Tasks (BoT) applications are commonly encountered in bioinformatics. They consist of a large number of independent computation-intensive tasks. This note introduces PAR, a scalable, dynamic, parallel and distributed execution engine for Bag-of-Tasks. PAR is aimed at multi-core architectures and small clusters. Accelerations obtained thanks to PAR on two different applications are shown.
