Simulation Laboratory Biology

The SimLab Biology is a targeted research and support structure that provides an interface between the Supercomputer facilities in Jülich and the Bioscience research communities.

Purpose

Among the many algorithms used in computational bioscience only few have been proven to scale well to the number of processors available in contemporary supercomputers (>1k CPUs). Our tasks include:

• development and maintainance of scalable methods
• development of an integrated application infrastructure for high performance computational biology (HPCB)
• support of users in the development and application of scalable methods
• initiation of collaborative projects for advancing high performance computational biology
