The phylogeny program FastDNAml has some parallelized code in it:
"The program includes "P4" code for distributing the problem over multiple
processors (either within one machine, or across multiple machines)."
I'm not working with this myself, but Chuck Delwiche here (delwiche at bio.
indiana.edu) is looking into using it on IU's Intel Paragon parallel box.
(is that what Intel does with all those obsolete 8088's? :)
He may have something to report in a month or so.
Pick it up by ftp to info.mcs.anl.gov@/pub/RDP/?software/...
or gopher/ftp to ftp.bio.indiana.edu@/molbio/evolve/fast-dnaml.tar.Z
