Hi folks: I want to announce that we appear to have the fastest HMMer and BLASTN builds and benchmarks for AMD Opteron architecture machines. Our HMMer benchmarking gives us a 2x advantage over the commonly downloaded binaries, and 2.5x on some customer tests. The blastn binaries give us about 22-24% advantage over the code downloadable from NCBI. These builds are immediately available from Scalable Informatics and our partners. Please contact us offline for more information. Some benchmark snapshots may be seen at http://www.scalableinformatics.com . Joe ps: while we are at SC'05, you can see our blog/comments at http://scalability.org and our photos at http://photos.scalability.org . -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics LLC, email: landman at scalableinformatics.com web : http://www.scalableinformatics.com phone: +1 734 786 8423 fax : +1 734 786 8452 cell : +1 734 612 4615
