Ian Smith, of Cambridge’s Royal Papworth Hospital, discusses the use of big data for research into the behaviour of patients suffering from sleep problems
A £2 million-pound high-performance computing (HPC) system at the University of Hull is playing a crucial role in enabling COVID-19 research
AMD and Penguin Computing have donated systems totalling seven petaflops of compute power to researchers as part of the AMD HPC Fund for COVID-19 research.
PRACE is joining the battle against COVID-19 by providing 195 000 000 core hours – to the first ten research projects awarded under the Fast Track Call for Proposals to support the mitigation of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Illumina has announced the Illumina SARS-CoV-2 Data Toolkit, a new suite of data analysis tools and workflow functionality for researchers working with the virus using next-generation sequencing (NGS).
L7 Informatics and Contamination Source Identification (CSI) have announced a partnership to accelerate the implementation of testing for COVID-19 patient screening
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) will get an upgrade to its Corona supercomputer through an agreement with Penguin Computing and AMD that is expected to nearly double the system’s peak compute power
COVID-19 and AI: A Virtual Conference will address a developing public health crisis. Sponsored by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), the event will convene experts from Stanford and beyond to advance the understanding of the virus and its impact on society. It will be live-streamed to engage the broad research community, government and international organisations, and civil society.

Cloud companies are offering tools, services and funding initiatives to help scientists and researchers combat the growing pandemic.
Elsevier and ExactCure recently announced a collaboration to develop and offer to hospitals – without charge – drug-specific exposure models for 20 already approved medicines that are being tested as potential treatments for Covid-19.
With the world’s focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, LIMS providers are working to develop solutions tailored to assist in the testing and management of virus samples.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School (HMS) have released an open source drug discovery platform, VirtualFlow, that harnesses supercomputing power to screen potentially billions of small organic compound structures in parallel, in the hunt for promising new drug molecules.
When designing a component or system, where do you start? In days gone by, designers would literally go back to the drawing board, using their experience and expertise to develop a new concept.
Effective utilisation of computing tools is critical to both AI and HPC research, with recent projects in both fields highlighting the scientific benefit of carefully managing resources.
Advances in computer vision combined with AI computing are helping pathologists to more accurately identify subtypes of cancer - leading to better treatments for patients, explains Dan Ruderman.
