PEACE: Parallel Environment for Assembly and Clustering of gene Expressions.

Version 0.95 (Beta)

Overview

PEACE is essentially a parallel and distributed clustering software system. It consists of two main components. The core clustering is performed by a standalone software subsystem. The core clustering engine has been developed in C++ and utilizes the Message Passing Library (MPI) to enable parallel and distributed clustering of large data sets of sequenced transcript fragments.

The second component of PEACE is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that has been developed in Java to serve as an integrated clustering and analysis workbench. This documentation provides detailed information about the software system constituting PEACE GUI. This documentation is primarily intended for use by programmers who wish to further enhance or modify PEACE to suit their needs.

As of 2010, PEACE is actively maintained and managed by the original authors at Miami University, Oxford, OH. If you would like enhancements or changes to PEACE, feel free to contact the authors. Contact and additional information is available off PEACE website at: http://www.peace-tools.org/ .
