The High-Performance Computing Program Development effort aims to foster the expanded use of a high-performance computing ecosystem to accelerate advances in predictive oncology research and clinical applications. Both driven and enabled by the rapid growth rates of information collected and generated about cancer, the opportunity for ever increasing computational capability grows as the data is analyzed, explored and utilized to provide critical insight into cancer. The program aims to develop the computational and data science ecosystem by addressing critical needs in compute, data transfer, data management, exploration and education in these areas required to advance the mission of the NCI.

Argonne Senior Scientist & Distinguished Fellow
Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished Service Professor of Computer Science

Read Dr. Foster's professional bio.

Presentation synopsis: Advances in genomics and data analytics create new opportunities for cancer research and personalized medical treatment via large-scale federation of genomic, clinical, imaging and other data from many thousands of patients across institutions around the world. Despite these opportunities and promising early results, cancer research is often stymied by information technology barriers. One major barrier is a lack of tools for the reliable, secure, rapid, and easy transfer, sharing, and management of large collections of human data. In the absence of such tools, security and performance concerns often prevent sharing altogether or force researchers to resort to slow and error prone shipping of physical media. If data are received, timely analysis is further impeded by the difficulties inherent in verifying data integrity and managing who can access data and for what purpose. Dr. Foster will discuss how the mature Globus data management platform addresses these obstacles to discovery and explain how its intuitive, web-based interfaces enable use by researchers without specialized IT knowledge.

Recent Updates

9/6/16

·  Archive Data Management – A new archive data service for large data is now available for evaluation. The new service provides application interfaces to readily access backend storage technologies such as the new Cleversafe storage moved into production last month. Individuals and groups interested in learning more about how this resource may benefit current initiatives may reach out and contact Eric Stahlberg, Miles Kimbrough or George Zaki. 

·  Education and Training -  Learn more about how high-performance computing (HPC) can be used to accelerate cancer research and clinical applications. Individuals and groups interested in learning more about HPC, either in general or with specific technologies and scientific challenges in mind may reach out and contact Eric Stahlberg, Miles Kimbrough or George Zaki.

·  The upcoming Computational Approaches for Cancer workshop scheduled for November 13, 2016 as part of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis has extended a call for extended abstracts until September 15, 2016. More information can be obtained at the link http://www.scworkshops.net/cancer2016/.

·  Frontiers of Predictive Oncology and Computing Meeting - With over 100 attendees from across the Department of Energy, NCI, academia, industry and other government agencies, the meeting (hosted by Intel July 12-14, 2016) provided an opportunity to gain insight into challenges and opportunities for the future. A white paper summarizing the meeting is to be developed.

·  New Data Services with Cleversafe – The Cleversafe storage system officially was moved into a production operational status at the beginning of August. Led by the IT Operations Group at Frederick National Laboratory and working with many stakeholders including CCR, CBIIT and NIH CIT, the new system is used within industry and in key efforts such as the Genomic Data Commons to provide a high level of data assurance for archive and stable data. Stay tuned for further information on opportunities to learn more how this new resource may benefit your scientific and operational needs.

·  Education and Training - Plans are underway to develop educational opportunities to learn more about how high-performance computing (HPC) can be used to accelerate cancer research and clinical applications. Individuals and groups interested in learning more about HPC, either in general or with specific technologies and scientific challenges in mind may reach out and contact Eric Stahlberg, Miles Kimbrough or George Zaki.

·  Computational Approaches for Cancer workshop - Scheduled for November 13, 2016 as part of the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis. A call for papers has been issued. More information can be obtained at the link http://www.scworkshops.net/cancer2016/
