Ai allows for identification of new cancer genes

February 20, 2019 by staff

Researchers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre have created a new artificial intelligence-based computational method that accelerates the identification of new genes related to cancer. Prof. Pržulj highlights that this new method to analyze cells “enables the identification of perturbed genes in cancer that do not appear as perturbed in any data type alone. This discovery emphasizes the importance of integrative approaches to analyze biological data and paves the way towards comparative integrative analyzes of all cells.”

HPC: Stop Scaling the Hard Way

…today’s situation is clear: HPC is struggling with reliability at scale. Well over 10 years ago, Google proved that commodity hardware was both cheaper and more effective for hyperscale processing when controlled by software-defined systems, yet the HPC market persists with its old-school, hardware-based paradigm. Perhaps this is due to prevailing industry momentum or working within the collective comfort zone of established practices. Either way, hardware-centric approaches to storage resiliency need to go.
