SoftwareInterProScan is an essential step in the Epichloëfestucae genome project’s pipeline. Complete determination of the genome sequence for Epichloëfestucae, requires substantial programmatic and computing efforts. Due to the running time requirements the computational volume of some of its subtasks exceed the power of a traditional single processor computation and high performance approaches, such as grid computing, are needed.

Although directional antennas have been used in mobile communications systems for quite a long time, realistic applications of directional or smart antennas in wireless ad hoc network have emerged just in recent years. Directional antennas provide numerous benefits, such as higher gains, increased transmission range and low interferences. Wireless medium access schemes play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and fair sharing of wireless resources. Therefore there are many research work on mechanisms at the wireless medium access layer by using directional antennas. The new features of MAC with directional antennas can cause not only location dependent carrier sensing …
