New features in this release include:


  • The Scalable Assembler at Notre Dame (SAND) is a set of portable genome assembly modules that work with the Celera assembler to dramatically improve runtimes. We have previously presented SAND in research publications.
  • The All-Pairs and Wavefront abstractions now have both multicore and Work Queue based implementations, and are fully documented and ready for use.
  • Makeflow has a number of improvements to parsing, maximum file sizes, dependency checking, and other usability issues.
  • Parrot now works around a critical bug found in Linux 2.6.22, which is widely used in Debian 5.
  • Many other small bug fixes and improvements.

    • Thanks to all who contributed to this release: Michael Albrecht, Peter Bui, Matthew Farallee, Chris Moretti, Kevin Partington, and Li Yu.
