| Abstract: | About 230,000 compounds in the National Cancer Institute Repository are available for screening under a new protocol. This paper is the second on an project to extract a representative sample of these compounds by clustering. The clustering program was implemented on the Connection Machine, a massively parallel computer with 16K processing elements. This implementation reduced a formidable task to a relatively routine run. |
