India’s CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, a learn institute below the Council of Scientific and Industrial Learn, has tied up with Lenovo to speed cancer learn the exhaust of a excessive-performance genomics analytics infrastructure.
Below their partnership, CSIR-IGIB will exhaust the Lenovo Genomics Optimization and Scalability Instrument (GOAST) that contains second-technology Intel Xeon Scalable processors to vitality in-depth genomic sequencing workloads. In line with Lenovo, GOAST leverages an optimised architecture and start-offer software program to provide a “GPU-stage performance at CPU-stage mark”.
The institute has adopted a 28-node gadget, making it the largest situation for GOAST in India and Asia-Pacific up to now.
WHY IT MATTERS
CSIR-IGIB is fascinated by human genetics learn that seeks to title genetic disorders, characterise mutations that pressure cancer development, and song illness outbreaks. In genetic sequencing, computing bustle and scale are essential, said broken-down Director Dr Anurag Agrawal.
It’s miles the institute’s function to abet its researchers analyse extra samples sooner by adopting a excessive-performing technology.
Since the exhaust of Lenovo GOAST, CSIR-IGIB has viewed a “essential performance impact’ for both total genome sequencing (WGS) and total exome sequencing (WES) workflows. “On latency runs—the salvage all resources of 1 node are assigned to executing a singl
