Hi Doug: All of them of course :). More exactly, could you use the optimized HMMer and BLAST code from http://downloads.scalableinformatics.com/, and compare to locally compiled versions, and to "vendor" provided versions (e.g. from Professor Eddy's and the NCBI site respectively) ? Also, could you let me know how hard/easy it is to tweak tests to your liking? We are working on documentation, and have feedback from at least one person who doesn't like XML. The idea is that good constructive criticism (and contribution) will help improve the tool, so if you have an idea on how to improve the input formatting, this would help everyone. Even better is if you have some code to implement the idea :) The HMMer tests need relabeling (my bad, I forgot to do this), and the long one takes about 18000 seconds on a 2.6 GHz P4 Xeon. Somewhat less on the Opteron. Would like to see it on the G5 with and without vectorization :) Joe Doug Shubert wrote: > ok the latest 'bbsv3rc1.tar.gz' installed without an error. > running the 'bbsv1.xml' benchmark now and will post the results. > which file(s) are of interest to the list? > > Thanks > Doug > -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Scalable Informatics LLC, email: landman@scalableinformatics.com web : http://scalableinformatics.com phone: +1 734 612 4615
