International Supercomputing Conference, Dresden, Germany

ISC has evolved into a high-powered international conference and exhibition that gives its attendees a global perspective on the cutting edge of HPC. As always, our conference program tackles hot HPC topics; this year, for example, we will have a panel session on “Green Computing”, a topic that was almost unknown just two years ago. ISC’s focus on future trends and developments can also be seen in this year’s keynote presentation by Prof. Dr. Satoshi Matsuoka of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, who will discuss “Everybody Supercomputes in the Next Generation Cyber-Science Infrastructure”.
I look forward to seeing you in Dresden.

Continous integration with PHP and Jenkins

Overview Continuous integration (CI) is a development practice which allows testing, building and checking the quality of the application in automated way without manual developer intervention. It requires developers to integrate code into a shared repository several times a day or every commit/merge to the given branch of the repository. Each check-in is then verified by an automated build, allowing teams to detect problems early. While PHP Continuous Integration (PHPCI) does not require the the code compilation as build” one can understand the set of task like testing and quality checks which are performed in timely manner or when the certain conditions are met. PHPCI can be performed on Jenkins Server. The detailed description of jenkins server configuration in is presented here. PHPCI requires PHing package which can be provided into application by Composer.

GRDB – Gene Relational DataBase

We have developed a fully automated web service available for the academic community which purpose is to increase the sensitivity of the detection of distantly related protein families. Predicted secondary structure information was added to the information about sequence conservation and variability, a technique known from hybrid threading approaches. The accuracy of the meta profiles created this way is compared with profiles containing only sequence information and with the standard approach of aligning a single sequence with a profile. Additionally, the alignment of meta profiles is more sensitive in detecting remote homology between protein families and more effective than aligning two sequence-only profiles or profile to sequence. The specificity of the alignment score is improved in it’s lower range compared to the robust sequence-only profiles.

International Supercomputing Conference, Hamburg, Germany 23th June 2009

The International Supercomputing Conference is the Europe’s premier HPC event. The attendance allows observing trends science and technology of High Performance Computing for whole next year. 2009 edition achieved record numbers of attendees and exhibitors, a level of success even more impressive given the international economic crisis. With its move to Hamburg, ISC’09 reached a significantly higher level of attendance, bringing 1,670 HPC industry leaders. Research labs demonstrated their scientific applications of supercomputing in most recent fields such us GPGPU accelerators, clouds and green computing. Furthermore, this, ISC’09 also welcomed several first-time exhibitors. The exhibition brought countless highlights such as the demo of both the IS5000 40 Gb/s infniband switches and low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The attendance on ISC’09 allows to anticipate future development of ATLAS system and to present current achievements’ of ToK4nEDA team. Jakub Paś Jakub Paś Ja
