Second International Workshop on High Performance Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, Bordeaux, France
31 August 2011 - 31 August 2011
France
The Second International Workshop on High Performance Bioinformatics and Biomedicine will take place on 31 August 2011 in Bordeaux, France.
High-throughput technologies and clinical diagnostic tools are producing an increasing amount of experimental and clinical data. Large-scale databases and bioinformatics tools are key tools for organising and exploring this data with the aim of making new discoveries in biology and medicine.
High-performance computing may play an important role in many phases of life sciences research, from raw data management and processing, to data analysis, integration and visualisation. At the raw data layer, in particular, grid infrastructures may offer the huge data storage needed to store experimental and biomedical data, while parallel computing can be used for basic pre-processing and for more advanced analysis. In such a scenario, novel parallel architectures coupled with emerging programming models may overcome the limits posed by conventional computers to the mining and exploration of large amounts of data.
The event will bring together scientists in the fields of high performance computing, computational biology and medicine to discuss the organisation of large scale biological and biomedical databases and the parallel implementation of bioinformatics algorithms and biomedical applications. The use of novel parallel architectures and dedicated hardware to implement bioinformatics and biomedical algorithms will also be on the agenda.For further information, please visit: http://staff.icar.cnr.it/cannataro/hibb2011/(opens in new window)
