Supercomputers:
Michigan investigators from academia and from our small Michigan biotechs can apply for time and space on MCBI’s supercomputing resources for intensive bioinformatics computing.

Genomics and Proteomics Computing at University of Michigan:
This 64 node Linux cluster is located in Ann Arbor and run by MCBI staff at the University of Michigan. As part of this cluster, a parallelized BLAST server is available for intensive BLAST searches. A number of bioinformatics tools are available on the cluster through the PISE tool portal. These tools use the standard PISE web-based bioinformatics interface, making them more accessible to the biologist. A command line interface is also available. Please contact Brian Ahtey bleu@umich.edu for more information.

Structural Biology Computing at Michigan State University:
A 16 node SGI system is available through the Michigan State University for structural biology applications, including analysis of X-ray and NMR structural data. Plans are in place for a Beowulf cluster to be added to this facility. Please visit The Center for Biological Modeling at Michigan State University for more information on these clusters and their associated software.

Molecular Modeling at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center:
Access to Pittsburgh Supercomputing facilities for molecular modeling will also be available once we finish establishing our policies for access.
