CDC: Modeling Hepatitis C Virus Mutations with GPUs

AccelerEyes posted a case study about R&D by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) related to modeling the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) - a major cause of liver disease around the world. By leveraging parallelization, CDC reduced computing time from 40 days to less than one day with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, Mathworks MATLAB and AccelerEyes Jacket.

High-Performance GPU Computing Center at Univ. of Wisconsin

The University of Wisconsin-Madison launched a new HPC center using NVIDIA Tesla. At the heart of the center is a cluster of 5,760 scalar processors split across 24 GPUs. Dan Negrut, center director, compared the GPUs to a group of jugglers: "This is like 5,760 jugglers split into 24 groups of 240. For them to work together, you have to have some type of protocol and understand who's passing the sticks - or data - to who, how often and how many."
