“We just won a Best Practices Awards for Knowledge Management in collaborating with Abbott Laboratories and Merck.  It’s a very special award as it represents effort in the pre-competitive space where 3 major pharmaceutical companies got together and organized their efforts in a area that would  normally be competitive, but they recognized their common interests and produced a very good and useful product.”

-Jonathan Usuka, Accelrys

“I’m still in shock.  It’s genuinely touching to be recognized by people outside of the immediate work environment and to be peer-reviewed in such a way as you’re working hard and it’s great to be recognized by your peers.”
-David Cook, AstraZeneca


“I’m very excited to have NGCR win this award because they are a wonderful partner for us.  They are in the business of dealing with raw sequence data that is so important today and we’re happy to be part of their pipeline for analysis for the summarized data.”
-Shannon Connors, SAS

Turning Genomics Data into Practical Insight
Sponsored by SGI

With worldwide sequencing capacity approaching 13 quadrillion DNA bases annually turning genomics data into knowledge is a true computational challenge. Read this paper and learn how the SGI UV coherent shared memory platform can:  

  • Speed results time while cost competitively tackling the most difficult computational problems across all omics disciplines. 
  • Push performance by scaling to extraordinary levels, up to 256 sockets (2,560 cores, 4,096 threads) per single system (one OS image). 

Provide support for up to 16TB of coherent shared memory in a single system image enabling extreme efficiency across a wide range of compute demands.
