Advancing Bioinformatics with Modern Hardware, HPC Compute + Software

June 30, 2021

Bioinformatics is advancing health-care research by using computation to understand biological data. It’s useful for large complex data sets used in determining gene and protein functions, establishing evolutionary relationships, and predicting 3D shapes of proteins. Two experts, Sergio Santander-Jimenez at University of Extremadura, and Ricardo Nobre of INESC-ID, are combining the power of modern hardware (CPUs+GPUs), HPC compute, and software to advance bioinformatics applications in areas including epistasis detection. Hear how they made it happen.
