The Advanced Computation Group (ACG) researches algorithms and high-performance issues relevant to Apple technology. Apple’s state-of-the-art processors coupled with ACG programs such as Apple/Genentech BLAST give the Power Mac and Xserve performance several times faster than other platforms running standard BLAST. This supercomputer performance directly impacts the rate of inquiry and discovery, opening new scientific vistas.

ACG publishes its research in the form of tools, technical papers and sample code for use in the science, education and engineering sectors.
