It might be a bit early to call generative adversarial networks (GANs) the next platform for AI evolution, but there is little doubt we will hear much more about this beefed up approach to deep learning over the next year and beyond. …
Building custom processors and systems to annotate chunks of DNA is not a new phenomenon but given the increasing complexity of genomics as well as explosion in demand, this trend is being revived. …
More than almost any other market or research segment, genomics is vastly outpacing Moore’s Law. …
Wheat has been an important part of the human diet for the past 9,000 years or so, and depending on the geography can comprise up to 40 percent to 50 percent of the diet within certain regions today. …
From its start in 2000, The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has been the largest genomic research center in Spain and among the largest in Europe. …
In 2003, the first human genome required $3 billion and fifteen years to fully sequence. …
It is hard to say exactly how much infrastructure revenue went up for grabs when IBM sold off its System x division to Lenovo last year, but in the HPC market, if you look at the data from IDC and Intersect360, which do detailed tracking of HPC organizations in terms of revenues and installed base, the numbers are not small. …
There is a perfect storm developing that is set to whisk the once esoteric field programmable gate array (FPGA) processor ecosystem off the ground and into the stratosphere. …
In times long since passed, when cloud was the latest, greatest hype machine, a steady wave of “cloud enablement” companies came to fore, promising secure ease as users tiptoed across the firewall. …
A team from the Joint Genome Institute at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and researchers from UC Berkeley have used 15,000 cores on the Cray XC30 “Edison” supercomputer to boost the complete assembly of the human genome, bringing the time down to 8.4 minutes. …
