A constantly increasing number of applications from various scientific fields are finding their way towards adopting Grid technologies in order to take advantage of their capabilities: the advent of Grid environments made feasible the solution of computational intensive problems in a reliable and cost-effective way. This book chapter focuses on presenting and describing how high performance computing in general and specifically Grids can be applied in biomedicine. The latter poses a number of requirements, both computational and sharing / networking ones. In this context, we will describe in detail how Grid environments can fulfill the aforementioned requirements. Furthermore, this book chapter includes a set of cases and scenarios of biomedical applications in Grids, in order to highlight the added-value of the distributed computing in the specific domain.

Performance Computing

Recent events in the high-performance computing industry have concerned scientists and the general public regarding a crisis or a lack of leadership in the field. That concern is understandable considering the industry's history from 1993 to 1996. Cray Research, the historic leader in supercomputing technology, was unable to survive financially as an independent company and was acquired by Silicon Graphics. Two ambitious new companies that introduced new technologies in the late 1980s and early 1990s—Thinking Machines and Kendall Square Research—were commercial failures and went out of business. And Intel, which introduced its Paragon supercomputer in 1994, discontinued production only two years later.During the same time frame, scientists who had finished the laborious task of writing scientific codes to run on vector parallel supercomputers learned that those codes would have to be rewritten if they were to run on the next-generation, highly parallel architecture. Scientists who are not yet involved in high-performance computing are understandably hesitant about committing their time and energy to such an apparently unstable enterprise.However, beneath the commercial chaos of the last several years, a technological revolution has been occurring. The good news is that the revolution is over, leading to five to ten years of predictable stability, steady improvements in system performance, and increased productivity for scientific applications. It is time for scientists who were sitting on the fence to jump in and reap the benefits of the new technology.
