CONCLUSION
Overall, 14th generation servers with Skylake and larger/faster memory size (due to higher number of memory channels compare with
Broadwell) show a better throughput on BWA-GATK pipeline. The throughput for this type of work improved from four 30x genomes per
day per C6320 to seven 30x genomes per day per C6420. Also, we verified that Dell EMC Isilon storage, F800 and H600, can be used
for high-performance scratch storage while they provide all the conveniences of easy maintenance, scaling, and various supported file
systems. In addition to that, we observed a better performance on Cryo-EM data process with Intel
®
’s optimized Relion codes.
Unfortunately, we could not test Dell EMC PowerEdge C4140 with NVIDIA
®
Tesla™ V100; however, the V100 with PowerEdge C4130
still shows impressive performance compared to P100. We believe the current version of Dell EMC Ready Bundle for HPC Life
Sciences is ready for data centric high-performance computing.
