vCompute UNVEILS 'ON-DEMAND' SUPERCOMPUTING FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH
Virtual Compute Corporation announced it will dedicate a portion of its
supercomputing infrastructure to the biomedical segments of the "On-Demand"
HPC industry. The new vCompute Bioinformatics Group has a very interesting
approach to medical research by applying advanced supercomputing and data
mining methodologies.
This division of vCompute has pulled together significant resources in one
location for researchers in the fields of computational biology, genomics,
proteomics, pharmacogenomics, pharmacogenetics, cheminformatics, medical
informatics and rational drug design. These resources will allow clients to
increase the speed of research results by utilizing advanced computational
systems that were not commercially available before.
VCompute's Bioinformatics Group understands that research methodologies in
these fields are compute-intensive. Therefore, vCompute has assembled cutting
edge supercomputing resources, algorithms and heuristics that are
computationally efficient on both Grid-based and serial or parallel
supercomputing systems.
"This particular area of "On-Demand" high performance computing allows us to
recognize the value of supercomputing in areas that benefit humanity the most.
Advanced medical research, computer aided drug designs, genetic engineering,
nanotechnology development and other important research can be accomplished
through the use of these systems," commented Edward Hawes, CEO of vCompute.
vCompute's advanced systems provide high performance computing capabilities
for futuristic medical research and the deployment of their bioinformatics
supercomputing configuration clearly provides a valuable resource to these
organizations.
"This advanced super computing configuration will provide researchers with
computational power to run the algorithms and databases that facilitate the
understanding of biological processes at speeds they have not had before. The
other ingredient is the Grid connectivity which will allow our center to
become a logical extension of the client research facility," continued Hawes.
Virtual Compute Corporation is clearly dedicated to advancing the capabilities
of medical research by applying supercomputing power and advanced data mining
techniques. The management of Virtual Compute Corporation believes this will
be the most valuable division of the company over the long term.
