N2 - HMMER is a very useful genomic application program and widely used. Reducing the execution time of HMMER is important for analyzing genomic information within a practical time period. However, HMMER can currently be executed only on a small PC cluster with PVM and cannot be executed on the Grid, which can provide far more processing power. In this paper, MPI-HMMER, which can be executed on the Grid, is implemented, and MPI-HMMER is evaluated using PCs on OBIGrid (Open Bioinformatics Grid). This is an experimental Grid for bioinformatics being developed by Japan Committees. The modified MPI-HMMER is also implemented to improve the execution time.
