BioMed X: Crowdsourcing for Biomedical Innovation
“Bright Computing allows us to concentrate on our research projects instead of spending too much time on IT administration tasks.” — Dr. Simone Fulle, Group Leader, BioMed X BioMed X: Crowdsourcing for Biomedical Innovation C A S E S T U D Y A High Performance Computing Requirement BioMed X set about building a high performance supercomputer in 2014, to support projects dealing with data analysis, the development of novel computational methods, and the investigation of protein- ligand complex structures, using molecular dynamics simulations and docking calculations. Thus, the decision for the cluster structure and management solution was driven by the need for the cluster to interoperate with a range of different applications. There was also a requirement for the cluster to
