BGI Tackles DNA Data Deluge Using NVIDIA Tesla GPUs

NVIDIA announced that BGI, the world's largest genomics institute, has slashed the time to analyze batches of DNA sequencing data from nearly four days to just six hours using a NVIDIA Tesla GPU-based server farm. The speed up is considered a critically important step in determining, in an affordable manner, the chemical building blocks that make up a DNA molecule. This is key for the genomics industry to achieve its target of the $1,000 genome -- the point at which genomics can be used in clinical diagnostic tests as a practical component of patient care. "We are drowning in the genome data that our high-throughput sequencing machines create every day," said Dr. Bingqiang Wang, head of high performance computing from…
