doi  abstract   bibtex   
The Special Issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, August 2013, discusses papers presented at the Emerging Computational Methods for the Life Sciences Workshop (ECMLS2012). Weber and colleague note that GPUs and multicore processors are now pervasive in computational sciences and high-performance computing. Their high-arithmetic throughput and memory bandwidth combined with their ever increasing programmability make them suitable for a widening variety of applications. Yang and researchers study a difficulty in building a mechanistic model of biological systems coming from determination of correct parameter values. Their paper proposes a novel parameter estimation method to infer unknown parameters, such as kinetic rates, from noisy experimental observations. Elllingson and colleagues present the current state of high-throughput virtual screening. They describe a case study of using a task-parallel MPI version of Autodock4 to run a virtual high-throughput screen of one million compounds on the Jaguar Cray XK6 Supercomputer.
