Adapting Genome-Wide Association Workflows for HPC Processing at Pawsey

SESSION: Regular & ACM Student Research Competition Poster Reception

EVENT TYPE: Posters, Receptions, ACM Student Research Competition

EVENT TAG(S): HPC Beginner Friendly, Regular Poster

TIME: 5:15PM - 7:00PM

SESSION CHAIR(S): Michela Becchi, Manish Parashar, Dorian C. Arnold

AUTHOR(S):Jindan (Charlene) Yang, Christopher Harris, Sylvia Young, Grant Morahan

ROOM:Level 4 - Lobby

ABSTRACT:

As part of Bioinformatics Petascale Pioneers Program at Pawsey Supercomputing Centre, this project adapts a number of genome-wide association workflows to a unique Cray supercomputing environment, transforms the performance of these workflows and significantly boosts the research lifecycle. Pairwise and third order gene-gene interaction studies are sped up by hundreds of times through massive parallelization and GPU computing, laying the ground for larger datasets and higher order analysis in the future.
