My company has just decided to start a bioinformatics group (better late
than never ;-> ). Anyway I am told that the bioinformatics stuff will
run on a multiprocessor SGI system. I assume this means a SGI Power
Challenge System, or are there other multiprocessor SGI's out there?
I'm also assuming that there are plans to run molecular modelling stuff
on the same machine. As an end-user who relies heavily on GCG and
related molecular biology computing applications, I'd like to know -- is
this a good system for running all this stuff on?
Oh, and I am told that the equipment budget is on the order of $250K.
Does this sound right?
Thanks for any input.
