As fascinating as diversity is, it's not the sort of thing that computational scientists usually get excited about. Uncovering how diversity came to be has captured the attention of a team of researchers at Alliance partner University of New Mexico and the University of Texas, though. Using the 512-processor LosLobos Linux Pentium III supercomputing cluster at the Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center, the team has created a phylogeny reconstruction - or evolutionary history - of 12 bluebell species, predicting all of the steps that take these species back to a single common ancestor. To meet the challenge, they created a whole new piece of software known as GRAPPA. GRAPPA is is free software available as a gzipped tar file containing all source files needed to compile an executable version.
