The Grid
Enable coordinated resource sharing
problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional
virtual organizations. (Source The Anatomy
of the Grid)

• Access to shared resources
• ? Virtualization, allocation, management
• With predictable behaviors
• ? Provisioning, quality of service
• In dynamic, heterogeneous environments
• ? Standards-based interfaces and protocols

BioGrid Applications

• Protein target selection for rice genome
• Multi-sequence alignment for ganoderma family
• Gene joint for white mice
• Cardiovascular disease research

Result of Sequence Matching
33
Sequence Matching w/o Grid Computing

• Search sever providing sequence matching
• Login server
• Study the manual to use server
• Visit database update time
• Submit job, get computation results after looong
  time
• Repeat step 3, until get all the possible results
  from the servers visited
• Analyze the results, delete the duplicated or
  abundant results based on database update time
  (very time consuming)

Complicated usage, time consuming, low accuracy
34
Sequence Matching w/ Grid Computing

• Simple usage
• Submit job via web page
• Wait for the final computation results
• Automatically update and synchronization
• Domestic databases update with USA databases via
  CERNET every 000am to keep synchronization
• Domestic databases update each other every 400am
  to keep synchronization
• User can get the unique result without comparing
  and deleting duplicated and abundant results
• Job is partitioned automatically
• High efficiency
• Multiple servers perform the sequence matching
  for different parts of sequence simultaneously
• No redundant matching operations

Impact of Grid Computing
??

• The global computational grid is expected to
  drive the economy of the 21st century similar to
  the electric power grid that drove the economy of
  the 20th century
• Ian Foster

The Grid intends to make access to computing
power, scientific data repositories and
experimental facilities as easy as the Web makes
access to information. Tony Blair, 2002
