High Performance Computing for Computational Biology - Session Introduction
Computational biology has become a fully multidisciplinary eld, including components of mathematics, biology, chemistry, and computer science. Computational biology is essentially the computer-aided analysis of the biology of organisms. Since even a single genome or proteome contains an immense quantity of data, performing even a simple analysis on genome-scale data quickly turns into a computa...
متن کاملHigh Performance Computational Biology - Past Progress and Future Promise
Biology is awash in data. The amount, complexity and increased need for the rigorous post-processing of these data speak to an increased role for high performance computing (HPC) in biology. Here HPC implies everything from global grid architectures to optimization of specific codes to take advantage of commodity clusters, to Web services needed to optimize and make useful the computer human in...
متن کاملHigh performance computational biology and drug design on TianHe Supercomputers
Extremely powerful computers are needed to help scientists to handle high performance computational biology and drug design problems. The world’s largest genomics institute BGI currently generates 6 TB data each day. The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Hinxton currently stores 20 petabytes (1 petabyte is 1015 bytes) of data and back-ups about genes, proteins and small molecules. Tian...
متن کاملHigh Performance Computing, Computational Grid, and Numerical Libraries
Called " Moore's Law " Microprocessors have become smaller, denser, and more powerful. Gordon Moore (co-founder of Intel) predicted in 1965 that the transistor density of semiconductor chips would double roughly every 18 months.
متن کاملEditorial: Special Section on High-Performance Computational Biology
OVER the past decade, computational molecular biology has grown into a mature discipline with a well-defined body of core knowledge, and participation from a large and diverse group of researchers. To keep pace with the explosive growth in research in this field, a number of high quality journals and annual conferences have been established. Many universities are actively building academic prog...
