InforSense Orchestrates Bioinformatics Services on Apple Workgroup Cluster.DETROIT -- InforSense Ltd: --InforSense KDE (K Desktop Environment) A GUI-based user interface primarily for Unix and Linux machines, but also available for Windows and Mac. The source code is freely distributed and is maintained by developers around the world. and InforSense BioSense Grid Now Available For Mac OS X Version 10.4 "Tiger" InforSense Ltd, the leader in integrative analytics, today announced the launch of its integrative analytics platform InforSense KDE on Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger", and of InforSense BioSense Grid, the first service-based high-performance environment for creating and publishing bioinformatics applications, on the Apple Workgroup cluster. InforSense BioSense Grid integrates iNquiry, the cluster and web portal See portal. for bioinformatics from The BioTeam, with the visual workflow, analytics and web services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. based architecture of InforSense KDE. "BioSense Grid offers a unique environment for large scale bioinformatics," said Prof. Yike Guo, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and Founder of InforSense. "With the popularity of the Apple Mac platform among life sciences researchers, the high performance Tiger and Xserve G5 cluster was the obvious choice for our first BioSense Grid demonstration." "Science and biotech bi·o·tech n. Informal Biotechnology. biotech Noun short for biotechnology Noun 1. researchers are increasingly choosing the power, stability and ease-of-use of Mac OS X and Xserve G5," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "We're excited that InforSense has taken advantage of Apple innovation to give researchers rapid and reliable access to important data, tools and computational power."
InforSense KDE and BioSense Grid for Mac OS X will be demonstrated at
ISMB 2005:
What: This demonstration will highlight the use of InforSense
KDE and BioSense Grid, mapped to an Xserve G5 cluster via
the LSF scheduling system from Platform Computing, to
create the first Service-Oriented environment for
bioinformatics. Bioinformaticians can easily create
tailored applications using the BioTeam's Grid services
and deploy to the iNquiry web portal as new services,
automatically mapped to the distributed computing
environment. The portal to be demonstrated not only
executes complex, large-scale sequence analysis and
annotation using the cluster, but also monitors cluster
performance and manages analytic process execution, again
using InforSense integrative analytics technology.
When: Sunday June 26 2005 to Wednesday June 29 2005 - Ongoing
demonstrations
Where: ISMB 2005, Renaissance Center Marriott, Detroit, MI.
Booth 19-21, Apple Computer Inc.
