Ensemble dispatching on an IBM Blue Gene/L for a bioinformatics knowledge environment

TL;DR: A new ensemble-based task dispatching system is designed and implemented that is deployed on a Blue Gene/L system in conjunction with the Blue Gene's High Throughput Computing (HTC) capability, able to efficiently process and dispatch large numbers of very short tasks to over a thousand cores.
