Earthquakes, Computer Speech and Biology Applications Make the Final Cut at Supercomputing 2006

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At the SC06 international conference on high performance computing, networking, data storage and analysis, three teams will compete in the HPC Analytics Challenge to demonstrate their capabilities in using advanced data analysis techniques to solve complex, real-world problems.

The HPC Analytics Challenge finalists include:

• �High-throughput visual analytics for biological sciences: turning data into knowledge,� in which a team from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will demonstrate an end-to-end solution for processing data produced by high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics to explore biological hypotheses. The end result is that a user can go from experimental spectra to pathway data in a single workflow, reducing time-to-solution for analyzing biological data from weeks to minutes.
