PADRE for COWs

Earlier work with the Parallel Document Retrieval Engine was oriented toward parallel machines such as the AP1000, characterised by many nodes, few disks, small memory per node (by current standards), single-user operation and high communication performance, relative to node computational power. Present generation parallel machines are much more like clusters of workstations (COWs). There are t...

Nicolle made many other fundamental contributions to knowledge of infectious diseases. This year is the centenary o...
