A distributed system for exhaustive alignment similarity searches on DNA/protein databases is presented. The system makes it possible to share the computational burden on diverse computers, provided they are interconnected by a network supporting TCP/IP communication. It consists of three separate programs: a user-interface module, a similarity score calculation module (multiple instances of which may be running simultaneously on different machines), and a control module. This last acts as the 'hub' of the system. The three programs have been successfully tested under the AIX, SunOS, VAX/VMS and MS/DOS operating systems.
本文介绍了一种用于在DNA/蛋白质数据库上进行穷举比对相似性搜索的分布式系统。该系统能够将计算负担分摊到不同的计算机上，前提是这些计算机通过支持TCP/IP通信的网络相互连接。它由三个独立的程序组成：一个用户界面模块、一个相似性得分计算模块（该模块的多个实例可在不同机器上同时运行）和一个控制模块。最后一个模块充当系统的“枢纽”。这三个程序已在AIX、SunOS、VAX/VMS和MS/DOS操作系统下成功测试。
