  2. CNR - ITB Porting the „MrBayes” application to EGEE Case study from INFN

  3. General Introduction /1 • MrBayes is a program for the Bayesian estimation of phylogeny. • Bayesian inference of phylogeny is based on the posterior probability distribution of trees, which is the probability of a tree conditioned on the observations. • To approximate the posterior probability distribution of trees MrBayes uses a simulation technique called Markov Chain Monte Carlo (or MCMC). • The program takes as input a character matrix in a NEXUS file format.

  4. General Introduction /2 • The output is several files with the parameters that were sampled by the MCMC algorithm. • The application is CPU demanding, especially if the MPI version of the software is used.

  8. Porting the Case study from INFN

  9. General introduction • The ASTRA (Ancient instrument Sound/Timbre Reconstruction Application) projects aims to reconstruct the sound or timbre of ancient instruments using archaeological data as fragments from excavations, written descriptions, pictures... • The technique used is thephysical modeling synthesis, a complex digital audio rendering technique which allows to recreate a model of the musical instrument and produce the sound by simulating its behavior as a mechanical system.

  10. Reason for gridification • Physical modeling synthesis is a really computing intensive technique since the complex models of the musical instruments are solved by integrating numerical coupled differential equations. • To have an idea of the needed time for simulation, on a Pentium IV 1.6 Ghz, 512MB RAM Personal Computer to correctly reproduce a sound lasting for 30 seconds it could be required more than 4 hours.

  11. Some reconstructed instruments..

  12. Benefits • The benefits of this system are far-reaching. • ASTRA not only makes it possible to recreate instruments that previously would have been either too expensive or too difficult to manufacture by hand, it also allows any model and its associated data to be accessed by other parties. • Research data can be shared around the world, making it a truly international project of immense value to working archaeologists and historians.
