Summary

DeepForest is a molecular phylogenetic analysis system implemented in a parallel logic programming language; KL1/KLIC. This is not a set of application programs but a set of predicates. The major objectives of DeepForest are (1) reconstruction of phylogenetic trees, (2) sequence data operation, and (3) tree superimposition. One of the most prominent features in DeepForest is parallel execution. We implemented an application program on a shared memory parallel machine; CRAY CS-6400, and examined its efficiency. Powerful symbol operation and flexible parallel computation in DeepForest can provide efficient sequence analyses.
