Many-Core Engine (MCE) for Perl example

Jit — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 05:37:50 -0600

MCE spawns a pool of workers and therefore does not fork a new process per each element of data. Instead, MCE follows a bank queuing model. Imagine the line being the data and bank-tellers the parallel workers. MCE enhances that model by adding the ability to chunk the next n elements from the input stream to the next available worker.

CORE MODULES

Three modules make up the core engine for MCE.

MCE::Core: Provides the Core API for Many-Core Engine. The various MCE options are described here.
MCE::Signal: Temporary directory creation, cleanup, and signal handling.
MCE::Util: Utility functions for Many-Core Engine.

MCE EXTRAS

There are 4 add-on modules for use with MCE.

MCE::Candy: Provides a collection of sugar methods and output iterators for preserving output order.
MCE::Mutex: Provides a simple semaphore implementation supporting threads and processes.
MCE::Queue: Provides a hybrid queuing implementation for MCE supporting normal queues and priority queues from a single module. MCE::Queue exchanges data via the core engine to enable queuing to work for both children (spawned from fork) and threads.
MCE::Relay: Enables workers to receive and pass on information orderly with zero involvement by the manager process while running.

MCE MODELS

The models take Many-Core Engine to a new level for ease of use. Two options (chunk_size and max_workers) are configured automatically as well as spawning and shutdown.

MCE::Loop: Provides a parallel loop utilizing MCE for building creative loops.
MCE::Flow: A parallel flow model for building creative applications. This makes use of user_tasks in MCE. The author has full control when utilizing this model. MCE::Flow is similar to MCE::Loop, but allows for multiple code blocks to run in parallel with a slight change to syntax.
MCE::Grep: Provides a parallel grep implementation similar to the native grep function.
MCE::Map: Provides a parallel map model similar to the native map function.
MCE::Step: Provides a parallel step implementation utilizing MCE::Queue between user tasks. MCE::Step is a spin off from MCE::Flow with a touch of MCE::Stream. This model, introduced in 1.506, allows one to pass data from one sub-task into the next transparently.
MCE::Stream: Provides an efficient parallel implementation for chaining multiple maps and greps together through user_tasks and MCE::Queue. Like with MCE::Flow, MCE::Stream can run multiple code blocks in parallel with a slight change to syntax from MCE::Map and MCE::Grep.

MISCELLANEOUS

Miscellaneous additions included with the distribution.

MCE::Examples: Describes various demonstrations for MCE including a Monte Carlo simulation.
MCE::Subs: Exports functions mapped directly to MCE methods; e.g. mce_wid. The module allows 3 options; :manager, :worker, and :getter.

REQUIREMENTS

Perl 5.8.0 or later. PDL::IO::Storable is required in scripts running PDL.

Shruti Paniwala — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 08:40:23 -0600

Software available at this site

FineSTRUCTURE version 2, a pipeline for running ChromoPainter and FineSTRUCTURE for population inference. A GUI is available for interpretation. Download from the Downloads page.
FineSTRUCTURE R scripts, a facility for exploring the results when the GUI is unavailable.
GLOBETROTTER, the admixture dating method based on ChromoPainter. Download from the Downloads page.
AdmixturePainting, A set of R tools to inmterpret the results of ADMIXTURE and STRUCTURE-like mixture models.
RADpainter, finestructure and ChromoPainter for RAD tag data used for non-model organisms.
Scripts to perform many types of conversion. Included in the main software download from the Downloads page.

What this page is This page provides information about and downloads for methodology for Chromosome Painting. It is not a facility to analyse your genome. Sorry if you were misled by the punchy name!
About Chromosome Painting Painting is an efficient way of identifying important haplotype information from dense genotype data. It describes ancestry in an efficient way suitable for a range of further analyses, including population identification and admixture dating.

Machine learning training and courses in bioinformatics !

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 31 Dec 2019 19:33:07 -0600

Machine learning techniques have been successful in analyzing biological data because of their capabilities in handling randomness and uncertainty of data noise and in generalization. In this class, we will learn basics about probabilistic models and machine learning techniques. We will focus on probabilistic models (Markov models, Hidden Markov models, and Bayesian networks) for biological sequence analysis and systems biology. Other machine learning techniques, such as Naive bayes, neural networks and SVMs will only be covered briefly.
