Pan-European e- Infrastructures vision  The Research Network infrastructure provides fast interconnection and advanced services among Research and Education institutes of different countries  The Research Distributed Computing Infrastructure (Grid, HPC) provides a distributed environment for sharing computing power, storage, instruments and databases through the appropriate software (middleware) in order to solve complex application problems  This integrated environment is called electronic infrastructure (eInfrastructure) allowing new methods of global collaborative research - often referred to as electronic science (eScience)  The creation of the eInfrastructure is one of the key objectives to facilitate building of the European Research Area Network Infrastructure e-Science Collaborations DCI Infrastructure Summer School on Workflows and Gateways for Grids and Clouds 2012 – Budapest,Hungary

The HP-SEE Life Science VRC and its objectives Main goal:  Utilize the combined HPC resources with regional needs coming from the life/bioscience communities, fostering the research process in the field within the region with the help of the large-scale high availability infrastructure, and facilitate the cooperation between the sparsely distributed life science research centres. Data and limitations  The Life Sciences domain has been revolutionized by advances in both computer hardware and software algorithms.  Assembling the Human Genome  Gene-expression chips to understand cellular processes  Exponential growth in the amount of publicly available genomic data.  GeneBank  Traditional database approaches are no longer sufficient for rapidly performing life science queries involving the fusion of data types.  Existing computational tools were created by experimentalists dealing with data sets that were miniscule in comparison to those available today. As a result, software that was once perfectly adequate now performs slowly or is incapable of successful analysis on traditional computational platforms.

DeepAligner-Deep sequencing for short fragment alignment  Description & Objectives Mapping short fragment reads to open-access eukaryotic genomes is solvable by a group of algorithms (BLAST, BWA, PatternHunter, and other sequence alignment tools – BLAST /mpiblast or scalablast/ is one of the most frequently used tool in bioinformatics and the others are relative new fast light-weighted tools that aligns short sequences. Local installations of these algorithms are typically not able to handle such problem size therefore the procedure runs slowly, while web based implementations cannot accept high number of queries. The HP-SEE infrastructure allows accessing massively parallel architectures and the sequence alignment code is distributed free for academia.  Result Online workflow based short sequence alignment service  Impact Freely available service/code for large scale short sequence alignment  Collaborations Hungarian Bioinformatics Association, Semmelweis University HP-SEE infrastructure used: Hungarian HPC, NIIF’s supercomputing sites Summer School on Workflows and Gateways for Grids and Clouds 2012 – Budapest,Hungary

DeepAligner-Deep sequencing for short fragment alignment (contd.)  Small scale launch (Home cluster): PBS/Linux Cluster, at the Obuda University – John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics.  Activity and technical assistance in pre-production stage: Technical assistance was provided by MTA SZTAKI and NIIF.  Porting: Application was ported using(Perl/C). Workflow and GUI was created for the application by Obuda University.  Benchmarking Scaled from 32 cores to 96 cores (MPI). DeepAligner Status  The online service is using two from NIIF’s supercomputing infrastructure (Budapest site and Szeged site).  Foreseen activities: Parameter assignments optimization of the GUI, more scientific publications about short sequence alignment. Further scaling is planned with performance analysis.  More information: Summer School on Workflows and Gateways for Grids and Clouds 2012 – Budapest,Hungary
