Hi all,
I finally got sick of manually schlepping BLAST files around, so I wrote
something to do it for me. 'zounds' is a very simple server/client
system for coordinating a bunch of 'worker' nodes through a central
server; it does everything in Python with objects and pickling, so it's
easy to do extra Python-based processing on the worker nodes. See
'filters' for more info.
You can read a bit more about zounds here:
http://iorich.caltech.edu/~t/zounds/README.html
It's freely available, open-source, etc. etc.
Comments and thoughts welcome.
cheers,
