HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING TO ENHANCE DATA ANALYSIS

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。最近的技术行政补充提供了资金，用于订购和实施计算机集群，并开始研究蛋白质组学和基因组学研究人员使用的各种软件的并行化，以便分析可以更快地运行。Jennewein先生负责与高性能计算设施相关的调查和研究。第三个项目是一个小型高性能计算(HPC)设施，以支持生物信息学领域的新研究。新的集群将由32个计算节点组成，每个节点配备两个双核皓龙处理器和4 GB内存。美国大学生物系的一个研究项目已经成功地利用了由生物信息学团队管理的集群来处理数据，速度比使用他们自己的设备快10倍以上。该设施最终还将为伙伴机构提供生物信息学领域的计算服务。该集群的另一个潜在项目是与爱荷华州立大学的Brendel小组合作，实现由Volker Brendel博士编写的GeneSeqer软件的并行版本。除了提供生物信息学领域的计算服务外，该集群还将为美国大学新的计算科学博士项目提供设施，以进行高性能计算领域的研究。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The recent administrative supplement for technology provided funds to order and implement computer clusters and to begin to conduct research in parallelizing various software used by proteomics and genomics researchers so that analyses can run more quickly. Mr. Jennewein is in charge of the investigation and research related to the high performance computing facility. The third project is a small high performance computing (HPC) facility to support new research in the area of bioinformatics. The new cluster will consist of 32 compute nodes, each with two dual core opteron processors and 4 GB of memory. A research project in the Biology department at USD has already successfully utilized a cluster managed by the bioinformatics team to process data more than 10 times faster than with their own equipment. The facility will ultimately provide computational services in the area of bioinformatics for the partner institutions as well. Another potential project for this cluster is a collaborative effort with the Brendel Group at Iowa State University to implement a parallelized version of the GeneSeqer software written by Dr. Volker Brendel. In addition to providing computational services in the area of bioinformatics, the cluster will provide a facility for the new Computational Science Ph.D. program at USD to perform research in the area of HPC.
