ISC 2020 Keynote: Hope for the Future, Praise for Fugaku and HPC’s Pandemic Response
June 24, 2020
In stark contrast to past years Thomas Sterling’s ISC20 keynote today struck a more somber note with the COVID-19 pandemic as the central character in Sterling’s annual review of worldwide trends in HPC. Better known for his engaging manner and occasional willingness to poke prickly egos, Sterling instead strode through the numbing statistics associated... Read more…
Hoefler’s Whirlwind ISC20 Virtual Tour of ML Trends in 9 Slides
June 23, 2020
The ISC20 experience this year via livestreaming and pre-recordings is interesting and perhaps a bit odd. That said presenters’ efforts to condense their comments makes for economic use of your time. Torsten Hoefler’s whirlwind 12-minute tour of ML is a great example. Hoefler, leader of the planned ISC20 Machine Learning... Read more…

HPC in Life Sciences 2020 Part 2: Setting the Stage for AI’s Opening Act
June 10, 2020
The rise of AI – machine and deep learning – in life sciences has stirred the same excitement and same ‘fits-and-starts’ reality as elsewhere. Today, AI is mostly used in two areas: 1) embedded in life science instruments such as cryo-electron microscopes where it assists in feature recognition and lies largely hidden from users, and...

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Terabytes: Image Generators in Life Sciences
Next-generation imaging technologies are producing a wealth of rich data to advance Life Sciences research. Artificial intelligence and machine learning can help researchers quickly derive insights from such data. However, many organizations do not have the infrastructures to handle the combination of enormous imaging data volumes and demanding analysis compute requirements.
What’s needed is an infrastructure that supports mixed genomic analysis and image analysis workloads. This paper discusses the new compute and storage demands for Cryogenic Electron Microscopy (CryoEM) and Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy (LLS) image analysis pipelines and the need for an easy to manage data storage foundation that delivers high performance in a reliable, scalable, and adaptable way.
