CONCLUSION
This white paper is focused on testing working solutions for diverse life sciences applications. Upon successful iteration of Dell EMC’s
HPC Solution for genomics v2.0, we incorporated a molecular dynamics simulation solution into the flexible architecture in addition to
improving the performance of the genomics data analysis platform.
Four K80 GPU unit in PowerEdge C4130 adds significant molecular dynamics performance to the solution, as it is able to simulate 1
million atoms in 10e6 steps in less than a minute. We showed the Dell EMC HPC System for Life Sciences improved variant analysis
pipeline performance by at least 17% compared to the previous version, and we believe actual throughput of this solution will be higher,
since only 72% of total cores were used to make a fair comparison.
Overall, the Dell EMC HPC System for Life Sciences is a cost-effective solution flexible enough to be used for many diverse life
sciences applications.
