An Introduction to High-Throughput Bioinformatics Data

High throughput biological assays supply thousands of measurements per sample, and the sheer amount of related data increases the need for better models to enhance inference. Such models, however, are more effective if they take into account the idiosyncracies associated with the specific methods of measurement: where the numbers come from. We illustrate this point by describing three different...

Matchmaking: Distributed Resource Management for High Throughput Computing

Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not adapt well to distributed systems, particularly those built to support high-throughput computing. Obstacles include heterogeneity of resources, which make uniform allocation algorithms difficult to formulate, and distribu...
