Hello,

We are seeking to expand the range of samples and demonstrations provided with the JPPF distribution. Our goal is to provide our existing and future users with ready-to-use example applications, close to real-life use cases for grid and parallel computing, that could be used as both starting points for developers using JPPF and complete demonstrations of how the JPPF features can be used and integrated.

We invite you to share your experience and wishes in this regard.

Thank you very much for your feedback,
The JPPF Team

As an example of real-life use of JPPF, I have implemented a demonstration that performs protein sequence alignment using the JAligner project.

The demonstration illustrate the search, in a database of protein sequences, for the sequence closest to the one provided as input. In this case, it's not the alignments that are performed in parallel, but rather the search itself.
I personally am a complete dummy in bio-informatics, however the JAligner APIs are very easy to use and well suited for the parallelization of the search.

The demo comes with real data for the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, including a database of several thousands of protein sequences.

We are still wondering how we will package these demonstrations. It will probably be as an independant package, downloadable separately (it will require an existing JPPF installation).

Sincerely,
-Laurent
