Problems solved by technology

Large-scale analysis of numerical data can be an arduous task.

Conventional systems provide user interfaces for analyzing data, however, they are extremely limited.

In particular, conventional systems for setting up and performing tasks, such as molecular screening, are both inefficient and inflexible.

In addition, once results are run, conventional systems are extremely limited in how generated data is displayed.

For example, in conventional systems, changes to data may only be accomplished in a tabular view of the data, and the tabular and graphical views of the data may be incapable of displaying simultaneously.

Another disadvantage with conventional systems is that to date conventional systems have been limited to single computing platforms.
