A supercomputer for every biochemist.
Nowadays, computational science and biochemistry has become two inseparable fields of study. Let's take in vivo metabolic response for example. In order to observe various phenomena within cells, it is inevitable to use a computer simulator so as to solve large amount of complex computations. Simulators not only handle high-speed and repetitive computations, but also enable scientists to predict phenomena under extreme biochemical conditions.However, it is a quite time-consuming task for PCs to simulate biochemical models. Cluster computers are commonly used for this purpose, but it is unrealistic for individual scientists to obtain such gigantic systems in terms of cost, size and energy consumption. On the other hand, dedicated hardwares are suitable to simulate limited types of models and lack in flexibility.
To resolve problems stated above, we are exploiting a biochemical simulator called ReCSiP (REconfiguarable Cell SImulation Platform).
