NCBI HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTER SYSTEMS

该项目的目的是升级现有的计算机系统和 获得新的计算机系统，并1)增加NCBI的权力 并行计算服务器和2)提供高性能显卡 能够计算、显示和处理复杂情况的工作站 蛋白质和核酸分子的三维模型。 此次收购将全面支持NCBI的使命。二 活动将特别受益于计算机设备类 这份合同将获得。第一个是提供高速网络 获取国内和国际上的分子序列同源性 搜索和序列检索服务。第二个是NCBI的 蛋白质三维结构的内部研究计划 和核酸及其与分子序列数据的关系。

The purpose of this project is to upgrade existing computer systems and acquire new computer systems and to 1) increase the power of the NCBI's parallel compute servers and 2) provide high-performance graphics workstations capable of computing, displaying, and manipulating complex three-dimensional models of proteins and nucleic acid molecules. This acquisition will support all aspects of NCBI's mission. Two activities will especially benefit from the class of computer equipment this contract will acquire. The first is providing high-speed network access, nationally and internationally, to molecular sequence homology searching and sequence retrieval services. The second is NCBI's intramural research program in the three-dimensional structure of proteins and nucleic acids and its relation to molecular sequence data.
