Information technology plays a vital role in enabling new science and
discovery in biology. Advances in high throughput and platform
technologies in biology present an unprecedented challenge in scale,
management, and analysis of biological data. Advances in computing
architecture and scale are enabling simulations of complex biological
processes at various organizational levels from atomic to cellular and
beyond.
High performance computing that takes full advantage of massive
parallelism is a necessary means to obtain the performance needed to
tackle this complexity. Dr Ajay Royyuru’s talk will examine the
landscape of computational biology with the lens of computational
scale. In particular, an overview of current research in petascale
biology and opportunities at the exascale will be examined.
