The Creation of Computerome In 2014, the systems management team at CBS set about upgrading its supercomputer to cater for increasingly sophisticated requirements in high performance computing. The new HPC environment would be designed to eliminate bottlenecks during complex computations, which can be a common problem in Life Science research due to the high volume of heterogeneous data involved in the projects. CBS recognised that a special HPC design was required, to overcome these bottlenecks. The systems management team enlisted the expertise of more than 50 top researchers, who spent a year designing and testing an HPC environment that was robust enough to support the rigorous demands of Life Science research. Computerome was born; a state-of-the-art storage system and a hete
