Distributed computing

Starting with UGENE 1.6 version we work on distributed versions of algorithms.

Current version of UGENE (1.6) supports remote execution of some tasks only on one remote machine.

Following tasks can be executed on remote machine:

• HMMER3 search
  
  
• Smith-Waterman search
  
  
• Muscle3 align
  
  

Remote machines monitor

Manipulation of remote machines can be done in Remote machines monitor

It can be accessed by selecting 'Settings->Remote machines monitor' in the main program menu

Remote machines monitor allow you to add/remove/modify remote machines.

To add new Remote machine click 'Add...' button and fill required fields.

Modification of remote machine is as simple as adding new one. Just click 'Modify...' button.

To remove remote machine from the monitor select machine in the table and click 'Remove' button.

You can ping remote machine to check if it's still alive and UGENE is still running there.

Some network protocols (for example, direct socket protocol) can do scanning of local network.

To search running UGENE's through such protocols click 'Scan...' button. Scanning will start automatically.

Also, you can use one of public UGENE machines to run your tasks on them. To add public machines to monitor click 'Get public machines' button.

If you want to use your machine as public UGENE machine contact us.
