Green Button - Supercomputing Unleashed!
Posted on 13 Oct 2008 02:27
Imagine having the power of thousands of CPUs configured especially for your analysis right on your desktop!
"...It's amazing to have such an easy-to-use supercomputer sitting on my laptop..." — Marc A. Suchard, assistant professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Green Button allows you to dramatically cut the time it takes to compute large analyses by running them on the NZSC Supercomputer in Wellington, New Zealand (the same supercomputer that was used to render Lord of the Rings and King Kong).
Demonstration
Watch this short video demo and see how easy it is to install and use Green Button:
We are launching Green Button with MrBayes, and will be introducing more programs like ClustalW and BLAST. If you would like to see a specific program on Green Button, email us at greenbutton@geneious.com and let us know. We would love to hear from you!
What does it cost?
Green Button costs just US1¢ per CPU per minute, and uses a prepay system. You can just top up your account when it runs low, and never pay a cent more than you want to.
For a limited time, we're offering new users US$10 credit free – that's enough to run 20 CPUs for nearly an hour! It costs nothing to sign up and you don't have to enter your credit card details, so why not give it a go now! Visit http://www.geneious.com/greenbutton and get started!
Be in to win!
Every job that is run using the Green Button between 1st October and 1st March 2009 goes into the draw to win this “gnarly” character from the Lord of the Rings.
The “Gothmog on Warg” is a truly evil creature and this statue shows Gothmog riding a vicious Warg, leading the Morgul Lord’s troops in the battle for Minas Tirith,
This collectors item is a limited edition of 4,500 hand numbered pieces and you will have the only one signed by Richard Taylor, the head of Weta Workshop and winner of 5 academy awards for special effects.
Start running those really “gnarly” jobs using the Green Button today and we will courier this piece to you anywhere in the world if your job is selected before the beginning of March 09.
What do users say?
"The convenience of the Green Button combined with the user-friendly interface of Geneious will be hard to beat. Now I can seamlessly put together datasets, run huge analyses, and process the results in one place. Life just got a little bit easier."
— Robert Lanfear, Postdoctoral researcher at the School of Botany and Zoology, Australian National University.
"I just wish this technology had been available sooner; it would have cut the computing time for my recent Science paper with John Huelsenbeck (co-author of MrBayes) in more than half! It's amazing to have such an easy-to-use supercomputer sitting on my laptop."
— Marc A. Suchard, assistant professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
