Abstract
The use of high-performance computing (HPC) to understand the evolution, basic structure and function of proteins is discussed. HPC serves to solve a biological problem due to the massive parallel computation required to solve a particular problem or to algorithmic complexity. The process of folding a protein takes approximately 20 micoseconds to full one second. It is observed that HPC algorithms formulated for biomedical research would require tight integration of computation with database operations and queries.
