Figure 1From: FIGENIX: Intelligent automation of genomic annotation: expertise integration in a new software platformFIGENIX software architecture. FIGENIX software servers can be distributed on several CPU. Some servers, like "Annotation Engine" or "Expert System" can be cloned and distributed on these CPU (theEnsembl pipeline includes a similar approach, named "Computer Farm"). This allows load balancing inside the FIGENIX platform. Fault tolerance is not yet implemented but can easily be integrated to this kind of architecture.Back to article page
