Abstract

Human Genome Analysis and Image Processing are part of the 'Grand Challenges' in High Performance Computing. The traditional mainframe has become insufficient for these applications in Biocomputing. New scalable parallel processor systems enter the marketplace with superior price/performance. The evaluation process of such a system by an application-oriented benchmark test suite is described. The system is integrated in the client/server structure of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum where 'rightsizing' will eliminate the mainframe completely in the near future.

Telemicroscopy by the Internet revisited.

This paper reports a fundamentally new concept for internet-based telemicroscopy. By separating a telemicroscopy application into three tasks - microscope control program, external server, and client application - it is possible to establish a telemicroscopy session between two arbitrary end points on the Internet even if both of the end points are secured by firewall (microscope and client application). The advantages of such a distributed system, compared with the classical point-to-point systems, are discussed. The telemicroscopy system is combined with a telepathology database, which is capable of automatically recording telemicroscopy sessions, allowing a convenient combination of interactive remote microscopy and store and forward telepathology. In addition to remote primary diagnosis, it is easily possible to discuss difficult cases within dedicated user groups, no matter whether images originate from a telemicroscopy session, or are manually entered into the database.
