Parallel programming in the classroom : analysis of genome data

Abstract

Over the course of a semester, students enrolled in an HPC seminar class created a suite of human genome analysis tools on the Beowulf clusters that they and other students built. The analysis tools were written with C and MPI and subsequently interfaced with a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) website through the use of scripts. The output was visualized with the help of Google Charts. We will discuss the technical details of this project and demonstrate how these tools can be used to analyze multiple human genomes simultaneously.
