Background: The identification of local similarities between two protein structures can provide clues of a common function. Many different methods exist for searching for similar ...
This paper presents a general-purpose distributed lookup service, denoted Passive Distributed Indexing (PDI). PDI stores entries in form of (key, value) pairs in index caches loca...
