high performance computing on graphics processing units: hgpu.org

High-performance computing is fast becoming an integral part of research and application in bioinformatics and computational biology. The large size of biological data sets, inherent complexity of biological problems and the ability to deal with error-prone data all result in large run-time and memory requirements. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of latest research in developing high-performance computing solutions to data-intensive and compute-intensive problems arising from molecular biology and related life sciences areas. We are especially interested in parallel algorithms, memory-efficient algorithms, large scale data mining techniques, algorithms on multicores and GPUs, and design of high-performance software for biological applications. The workshop will feature contributed papers as well as invited talks from reputed researchers in the field.
