  1. High Performance Computing & Bioinformatics PerformanceNick Lindberg MCW Bioinformatics User Group

  2. “If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use: two strong oxen or 1024 chickens?”-Seymour Cray MCW Bioinformatics User Group

  3. HPC: Computing Platforms • Supercomputer (Oxen) • Fast, expensive, custom CPU/memory architecture and high-speed interconnect facilitating parallelization of a single computation • Appears as a singular, large computer • IBM “Bluegene” • NCSA “Blue Waters” • HPC Cluster (Chickens) • A lot of cheaper, commodity servers/CPUs with loosely coupled, slower (but still fast) interconnect (Ethernet/Infiniband) • Excels at ‘embarrassingly parallel’ batch computing as well as MPI-enabled parallel computing • Marquette’s “Pere” • MKEI’s “hpc01” MCW Bioinformatics User Group

  4. Matrix Multiplication C[0,0] = A[0,0]*B[0,0] + A[0,1]*B[1,0] + A[0,2]*B[2,0] C[0,0] A[0,o] A[0,1] A[0,2] B[0,0] B[1,0] For (i=0; i<3; i++) { C[i, j] = A[i, k] * B[k, j] B[2,0] MCW Bioinformatics User Group
