linux发行版之BioBrew

foo_bar

ABSTRACT:
BioBrew Linux is an open source Linux distribution that is enhanced for life scientists. It is customized for cluster and bioinformatics computing. It automates cluster installation, includes all the HPC software a cluster enthusiast needs, and contains popular bioinformatics applications.

To the right, a BioBrew cluster running at the Supercomputing Conference, November 2003. Built by Glen Otero, the cluster shown is part of a larger system containing 192 nodes. Each node contains dual Xeons and uses Infiniband. It clocks in at over 1 TFLOPS (one Trillion Floating-Point Operations Per Second) of performance, which would make it one of the 500 fastest computers in the world (not yet listed at top500.org). The ticket price for the cluster is USD $1 million. This part of the cluster has been touring the world and has been seen at expos in Arizona, California, China and Spain.

BioBrew Linux 是一个开放源代码的linux，增强了对生命科学的支持。它内部定制了集群和生物无机软件，能够自动安装高性能集群和生物无机软件。对IA64架构也将提供支持。

BioBrew Linux是一份开源Linux发行，它基于NPACI Rocks cluster软件，并面向bioinformaticists和生命科学家作了增强。尽管它看上去、感受起来及操作起来都像普通的Red Hat Linux，BioBrew Linux包括了流行的机群软件，例如MPICH、LAM-MPI、PVM、Modules、PVFS、Myrinet GM、Sun Grid Engine、gcc、Ganglia、Globus，以及受欢迎的bioinformatics软件，例如NCBI toolkit、BLAST、mpiBLAST、HMMER、ClustalW、GROMACS、PHYLIP、WISE、FASTA、EMBOSS。它可以运行在从笔记本电脑到大型机群的任何平台上

其实英文里已经说明了它是基于Redhat的，所以

看上去、感受起来及操作起来都像普通的Red Hat Linux

BioBrew的定位是生物计算领域
和RH定位是不同的。
