BioBrew Linux is an open source Linux distribution that is enhanced for life scientists. It is customized for cluster and bioinformatics computing. It automates cluster installation, includes all the HPC software a cluster enthusiast needs, and contains popular bioinformatics applications.

BioBrew Linux is an open source Linux distribution based on the NPACI Rocks cluster software and enhanced for bioinformaticists and life scientists. While it looks, feels, and operates like ordinary Red Hat Linux, BioBrew Linux includes popular cluster software e.g. MPICH, LAM-MPI, PVM, Modules, PVFS, Myrinet GM, Sun Grid Engine, gcc, Ganglia, and Globus, *and* popular bioinformatics software e.g. the NCBI toolkit, BLAST, mpiBLAST, HMMER, ClustalW, GROMACS, PHYLIP, WISE, FASTA, and EMBOSS.

It runs on everything from notebook computers to large clusters. BioBrew Linux for the Itanium architecture is only available for purchase at this time through Callident. Please contact Brewmeister Glen Otero for information regarding BioBrew Linux on Itanium.
