SGI's Meeting Today’s Computational Needs for Science
The quest to better understand disease mechanisms and find new treatments is driven by new laboratory technologies and ever-more sophisticated modeling and simulation efforts. As such, life sciences R&D investigations increasingly are relying on more powerful computing resources. The challenge is how to accommodate the broad mix of applications.
Addressing this issue, this paper produced by the Bio-IT World Custom Publishing Group discusses a new SGI Hybrid Computing Environment approach. It optimally uses shared memory systems, multi-processor clusters, and FPGAs to accelerate computational workflows.

SGI's Supercharging Proteomics Discovery
The deeper study of proteins and their interactions can reveal scientific information once considered nearly untouchable to scientists and researchers. Today, unprecedented advancements in computing power are enabling the creation of mounds of proteomic based data along with the accompanying bottlenecks data can create.
Rather than just “simplify the experiment” to fit the computational resources an alternative is now available with the SGI Proteomics Appliance. This complimentary white paper, produced by the Bio-IT World Custom Publishing Group, looks at ways to use the Proteomic Appliance to handle the most intensive proteomics computing tasks facing science today.

Waters
Automate Method SOPs for Greater Efficiency and Fewer Errors with Waters® NuGenesis® Intelligent Procedure Manager The Waters® NuGenesis® SDMS Intelligent Procedure Manager is a workflow software package designed to guide the laboratory analyst through a routine, comprehensive method standard operating procedure (SOP) and integrate results with a chromatography data system. The Intelligent Procedure Manager addresses the predominately manual activities required to perform an analytical method or test, reducing cycle times up to 50-75% as compared to a traditional paper trail with fewer opportunities for human error. From late-stage development to final product quality control and lot release, Intelligent Procedure Manager can be applied to any lab environment where rigorous adherence to approved test methods and SOPs must be followed, including compliance requirements for cGMP operations.
