Fueling Insights that Bring Breakthroughs to Life
When the world is waiting for your next breakthrough, speed is everything. Intel® Scalable System Framework (Intel® SSF) provides fast, secure, system-level HPC performance and throughput for compute and data-intensive life sciences workloads. Accelerate everything from genomic-driven personalized medicine to cryo-electron microscopy processing. So your work can make the world a better place—sooner.
High-Performance Data Analysis
Life sciences increasingly relies on massive data sets and compute-intensive workloads to find breakthroughs that may not have been possible just last year. The National Institute of Heath, now generates and analyzes 1.5PB of data per month on its internal work alone. Life science applications and workloads are diverse, high performance computing (HPC) solutions must handle a variety of scientific data: Genomics, molecular imaging, molecular modeling/simulation, and many others. Your HPC solution must be flexible enough to deliver both compute performance and data-intensive throughput. Balanced, system-level performance that gets results—and gets them in the accelerated timeframes our world demands today and tomorrow.
“Intel® Scalable System Framework (Intel® SSF) is a single, broadly configurable framework, designed to meet requirements for both compute speed, and data intense throughput—from a hardware and software perspective over multiple generations of systems”.
— Mark Seager, Intel Fellow, CTO for Technical Computing Ecosystem
To help you do that, Intel® SSF harnesses the power of next-generation Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 product family, Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors, Intel® Omni-Path Fabric (Intel® OP Fabric), and Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter. All in a framework that is highly integrated, configurable, and scalable—now and into the future. We also harness the power of our OEM partners. Ensuring products always advance HPC, while controlling your costs and protecting your HPC investment.
Intel and Living Heart Project to Save Lives
Intel, MIT, and Dassault Systèmes have come together in the Living Heart Project to create a realistic, 3D computational model of the living heart. The Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 product family and Intel® Scalable System Framework (Intel® SSF) are advancing the compute times required to represent cardiovascular disease, treatment options, and medical devices in the model—and uncover findings that optimize patient treatment and outcomes.
Personalizing Cancer Care with High Performance Computing (HPC)
Genome sequencing is moving from research to clinical use. Personalizing treatment using a patient’s genome data is more common. Intel® Xeon® processors and the Intel® Enterprise Edition for Lustre* software (Intel® EE for Lustre* software) are helping the Human Genome Center at the University of Tokyo do just that. Map patient genomes to develop more effective cancer treatments and patient outcomes.
