Description: A collection of high-performance methods for computing distance
    measures for bioinformatics data. The weighted Euclidean distance can be
    computed using 'OpenCL' on a GPU or a parallelized implementation on a CPU.
    Other important distance measures for bioinformatics data are provided by
    the R package 'parallelDist'. A specialized distance measure for the Gene
    Ontology is also available.
