Session Details

Date: June 18th 2013
Time: 04:40
Location: Redwood Room

Session Abstract

cancer drug research, stem cell indexing, HPC, Novartis, Schrödinger

What happens when scientists and researchers are no longer limited by fixed-size compute and data capacity? Better, faster science. From small research labs to start-ups to Fortune 500s, Utility HPC is making impossible science possible in Life Sciences, Financial, Insurance, Energy, and Manufacturing industries. This session explores how organizations are running large-scale high performance computing (HPC) workloads on Intel® Xeon processors in the cloud.

Jason Stowe, CEO of Cycle Computing, a provider of utility HPC software that orchestrates high performance computations in the cloud, will share with you his insights on the future of science in a world with accessible compute. Jason will touch on his client’s use cases, including Novartis and Schrödinger. Jason will highlight lessons learned from real-world examples in cancer drug research, stem cell indexing and manufacturing design certification.
