Abstract

Extremely powerful computers are needed to help scientists to handle high performance computational biology and drug design problems. The world's largest genomics institute BGI currently generates 6 TB data each day. The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) in Hinxton currently stores 20 petabytes (1 petabyte is 1015 bytes) of data and back-ups about genes, proteins and small molecules. TianHe supercomputers can speed up computational biology and drug design processing. In 2013, 2014, and 2015, Tianhe-2 topped the TOP500 list of fastest supercomputers in the world. Many well-known bioinformatics and drug design softwares (BWA, DOCK, SOAP3-dp, SOAPdenovo, SOAPsnp etc.) are developed and running on TH-2.

基于天河超级计算机的高性能计算生物学和药物设计

需要极其强大的计算机来帮助科学家处理高性能计算生物学和药物设计问题。世界上最大的基因组研究所华大基因目前每天产生6tb的数据。位于Hinxton的欧洲生物信息学研究所(EBI)目前存储了20拍字节(1拍字节等于1015字节)的数据，并备份了有关基因、蛋白质和小分子的数据。天河超级计算机可以加速计算生物学和药物设计处理。2013年、2014年和2015年，天河二号在全球最快超级计算机500强中名列前茅。许多知名的生物信息学和药物设计软件(BWA、DOCK、SOAP3-dp、SOAPdenovo、SOAPsnp等)都是在TH-2上开发和运行的。
