What is High Throughput Computing

Chapter 12
Handbook of Research on Computational Grid Technologies for Life Sciences, Biomedicine, and Healthcare
In contrast to HPC, high throughput computing does not aim to optimize a single application but several users and applications. In this way, many applications share a computing infrastructure at the same time – in this way the overall throughput of several applications is supposed to be maximized.

Abstract
Proteomics is currently one of the most promising fields in bioinformatics as it provides important insights into the protein function of organisms. Mass spectrometry is one of the techniques to study the proteome, and several software tools exist for this purpose. The authors provide an extendable software platform called swissPIT that combines different existing tools and exploits Grid infrastructures to speed up the data analysis process for the proteomics pipeline.
