Launch of E-Biothon, a networked platform for the acceleration and advancement of bioinformatics research

CNRS, IBM, Inria, the Institut Français de Bioinformatique and the innovative start-up SysFera are rolling out E-Biothon, an experimental Cloud platform (1) to help speed up and advance research in biology, health and the environment. With a 200-terabyte (1012 bytes) storage capacity and a computing power of 28 teraflops (1012 flops), E-Biothon will provide an application portal and significant processing capacity to both researchers and the scientific community as a whole. This will make it possible to tackle the processing of today's complex biological data in order to develop tomorrow's application software. The platform is being showcased from 18 to 21 November 2013 at the key high performance computing event, the Supercomputing (SC 13) Exhibition in Denver.
