Subject: Re: [Oscar-devel] Google Summer of Code application
Dear
Sirs,
Thank you for your great
info.
Based on it, I have written the final project proposal:
The Summer of
Code submission:

Project Title
OSCAR
BioInformatics packages and SGE
support
Synopsis
Contribute to project OSCAR
(http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/)
by
adding important software for research environments in the
Biosciences
field.
Deliverables
- Create OSCAR packages
for all relevant bioinformatics tools that
run on
clusters
- Create the Sun Grid Engine
package.
Project Details
BioInformatics, a somewhat new
and ever growing field, has many
complex algorithms
that can only be
handled by powerful clusters.
My main task will be to select several
applications of interest and
integrate properly with
OSCAR. This would be
of great value to the scientific community.
I will also
create and maintain the Sun Grid Engine package, a
software to
incorporate/maintain grids under current cluster
infrastructure. This task
will probably require coding
on OSCAR's core
components.
Scope
The above two tasks can be completed
under Google's schedule.
I hope I can continue to improve OSCAR
beyond this period.
Bio
I'm an undergraduate in
electrical engineering from University of Sao
Paulo, Brazil. I am currently
involved FAPESP's
(http://www.fapesp.br/english/index.php)
program called
Viral Genetic Diversity Network (VGDN)
(http://www.lemb.icb.usp.br/lemb/vgdn/www/)
which
aims to sequence HIV-1, HCV and RSV variants collected across 23
labs in
Brazil. I'm currently assisting the design of the main lab
(LEMB) analisys
cluster HPC, a 54 cpu-diskless cluster of 2.0Ghz
Opterons, and adapt to our
software.
I think that it is a great opportunity for me to
learn, help the
university lab, contribute to OSCAR project and get involved
on the open
source community in a active
way.
