Ensemble computing encompasses loosely coupled, parallel computation on high-end parallel computers, clustered computational grids and desktop grid environments.
For parallelized computations, a computer cluster was used with the exact same hardware configuration per compute node.
MOLA is not intended for users that have access to large dedicated computer clusters rather was developed for non-experienced users that want to develop small virtual screening projects by using non-dedicated multi-platform computers clusters.
Our method provides the means to run SBVS on public cloud resources or on commodity computers clusters.
Large calculations scale easily on to multi-core computers, clusters and Cloud.
The high precisions of multicore computers, clusters, and grids have become increasingly available and more powerful nowadays [ 7].
Fadi Towfic provided valuable assistance with the Bionformatics and Computational Biology Lab computer cluster at Iowa State University.
Pons and E. Richard for their assistance with computational analyses on the computer cluster of the Centre de Biochimie Structurale.
We acknowledge the Center for Instruction, Research, and Technology (CIRT) at Indiana State University for computer cluster usage and other computational resources.
