Chapter 18—BioIT Architecture Software Architecture for Bioinformatics Research Dickson explains the variety of requirements that the research process imposes on any BioIT architecture used in target identification and validation. He focuses on the types of components (e.g., architecture, environment, and services) that are necessary to support the target discovery process.

The architecture of most of the safety systems implemented by Schneider Electric and Framatome includes a redundancy of identical I C channels, i.e. using the same hardware and software design. When performing safety analyses on such architectures, software is identified as a potential source of Common Cause Failure (CCF).

Many of the programs mentioned above have been ported to supercomputers. Some of these codes have been optimized to take advantage of the supercomputer architectures. Software for supercomputers, as well as for minisupercomputers, often represents a joint venture between the original developer and the hardware company hence the hardware vendors are an additional source of information about software for their machines.

The availability of software providing translation of nomenclature input into connection tables serves to illustrate the problems caused by the insular design of much structure-based software, and the limitations of the MS-DOS operating system on what has been the standard PC used in the chemical information field. We would echo the comments made here three years ago on the need for open software architectures. Software developers should consider more fully the wider consequences of their systems interface designs, to encourage greater flexibility for users in building software systems from modules tailored to their individual needs.

Instmmentation advances have increased the power and quahty of the fundamental analytical techniques used in conjunction with LIMS. Unfortunately, these advances come at a price of increasing complexity and volume of information. Despite ah. of the architectural and technological advances of computer hardware and software, the demands of the information requirements still exceed the computing capabhities, so as to put continuing pressure on computer manufacturers to iacrease storage and processiag capabhities evea further. 

The use of color graphics is also an effective means for displaying chemical stmctures. This method is far better than typesetting the three-dimensional architecture of complex multimolecule assembly (112). For developing in-house CAD software programs, the three-dimensional, sohd-modeling capabiUties of SdverScreen can also be utilized either in monochrome or color for constmction of such stmctures (113). 

The observation that certain kinds of parallel-computing architectures best support only certain kinds of problems seems to be general. The further observation that interprocessor communication can be the primary impediment to parallel performance is also general. As of this writing, any hope of a truly general purpose parallel computer seems to be remote. The best hope may He in software efforts that describe problems at higher levels of abstraction, which can then be ported and optimized for different parallel architectures (22). 

CAD databases can be helpful, but this depends much on the software set available. Architectural CAD data often contain too many data that have to be simplified and reduced considerably. 

Mathematical models require computation to secure concrete predictions. Successes in relatively simple cases spurs interest in more complex situations. Somewhat specialized computer hardware and software have emerged in response to these demands. Examples are the high-end processors with vector architecture, such as the Cray series, the CDC Cyber 205, and the recently announced IBM 3090 with vector attachment. When a computation can effectively utilize vector architecture, such machines will out-perform even the most powerful conventional scalar machine by a substantial margin. Such performance has given rise to the term supercomputer. ... 

What do customers look for before they decide to adopt an ELN system The companies that are implementing ELN systems can be reasonably divided at this point into large enterprises and small companies. Large enterprises, by the nature of the complexity of their operations, are the major driving force behind many of the software architectural decisions behind well-designed ELN systems.
