By Angela B. Shiflet, George W. Shiflet and Whitney Sanders
Wofford College, Spartanburg, South Carolina
Markov Chains have numerous applications in biology from ecology to bioinformatics. This module will explore some of these applications along with the need for high performance computing in solving some of the problems.
Upon completion of this module students should be able to:
- Effectively use Markov Chains in modeling.
- Produce a serial and parallel implementation of Markov Chains in MatLab.
- Produce a serial and parallel implementation of Markov Chains in C and MPI.
