How do platform, OS, language, and dollars affect computational speed?

Other Douglas, I haven't used those capabilities but no doubt it can be done.

If the grid is too much you could manually divide the work among inexpensive computers since it's naturally parallel work.

Have fun, Doug

Some genomics programs written from scratch and running on a batch of $500 computers might make for a good SBIR, unless the license from Wolfram is huge.

Douglas,

I think you are correct to say to stay with what I have and use Parallelize[]. My DNA work linearly progresses through sequence, so it can be divided by ranges of sequence number.

With appropriate licensing, do you know if Parallelize[] will run over a LAN with a bank of several other inexpensive computers?

Thanks, Doug
