VGE

Virtual Grid Engine (VGE) is a middleware that bridges the gap between bioinformatics and the utilization of massively parallel supercomputers, like those listed in the TOP500. Recognizing the limitation posed by the absence of asynchronous parallel processing services, which are essential for bioinformatics workflows but typically unavailable on supercomputing infrastructures, VGE enables bioinformatics software pipelines to be automatically executed as MPI (Message Passing Interface) programs.
