Training bioinformaticians in High Performance Computing.

ABSTRACT: In the last decade, bioinformatics has become an indispensable branch of modern science research, experiencing an explosion in financial support, developed applications and data collection. The growth of the datasets that are emerging from research laboratories, industry, the health sector, etc., are increasingly raising the levels of demand in computing power and storage. Processing biological data, in the large scales of these datasets, often requires the use of High Performance Computing (HPC) resources, especially when dealing with certain types of omics data, such as genomic and metagenomic data. Such computational resources not only require substantial investments, but they also involve high maintenance costs. More importantly, in order to keep good returns from the investments, spec
