Since bioinformatic problems involve massive computing and data, distributed computing is gaining recognition as a platform for solving such problems. The task originally needing high computing power does not only rely on supercomputers. Distributed computing using off-the-shelf PCs with high speed networks can offer low-cost and high-performance computing power to handle the task. Therefore, this study implements a complete distributed computing platform based on peer-to-peer file sharing technology. The platform includes functions such as scheduling, load balancing, file sharing, maintenance of data integrity and a user-friendly interface. The proposed platform can help bioinformaticists in massive computing and data problems, and is easier to use, more reliable and more helpful than other platforms for conducting bioinformatics research.
