See http://genome.ucsc.edu --- which reports authoritatively that the
computation was run on a 100-Pentium cluster running Linux. It
doesn't offer source anywhere I can see, but does show excerpts of C
code in an appendix to the writeup of the algorithms.
BTW, the output is stored for public viewing (via a web-based browser)
in MySQL...
