High Performance Computing with Apple, featuring The BioTeam.
Bioinformaticists need the most powerful technologies available to 
analyze the ever-growing volume and complexity of genomic data. 
 However, researchers face challenges that include insufficient 
computing resources to perform analyses, unacceptable performance of 
analyses and excessive computing administrative burden.

At this free seminar, Dr. William Van Etten, an esteemed scientist and 
a recognized Life Sciences consultant, will lead a collaboration 
between BioTeam, Inc. and Apple to discuss cost-effective, scalable and 
manageable cluster computing methods for data analysis on Apple’s Mac 
OS X platform.

Joining Dr. Van Etten, in most locations, will be Warner Yuen, Apple 
Research Computing Consultant, presenting on Apple in High Performance 
Computing and the Life Sciences.  The team  will also explore the roles 
of Xserve and Mac OS X Panther in the cluster computing environment.

Participants will learn:
. How to achieve supercomputing power through cluster computing with 
Xserve
. The benefits of cluster computing
. How to achieve a five-fold performance increase in sequence-searching

Solutions we’ll feature:
. Mac OS X Server
. Xserve
. Platform Computing’s Load-Sharing Facility
. Sun Grid Engine

SEATS ARE LIMITED, SO REGISTER TODAY.
