Cycle Computing's Jason Stowe to Discuss Pharmaceutical Research in the Cloud at OSCON

New York - Cycle Computing, providing proven, secure and elastic high performance computing (HPC) and open source solutions internally and in the cloud, today announced that Jason Stowe, CEO, will be presenting a session on pharmaceutical research in the cloud at the O'Reilly OSCON Open Source Convention in Portland, Oregon.

Stowe will discuss the use of open software in managing state-of-the-art HPC environments and provisioning auto-configuring software stacks in internal clouds and Amazon EC2.

Life science research, including molecular modeling, bioinformatics, proteomics and genomics contain multiple examples of open-source technology. Utilizing open-source technology like the Condor Project or Sun GridEngine to manage HPC clusters, researchers can deploy the software stacks that they use for calculations in the cloud. Utilizing Condor can also allow life science researchers to make the most of internal resources by harvesting compute cycles on dedicated servers, idle workstations and underutilized virtual environments.

Stowe's presentation, Pharmaceutical Research in the Cloud, will take place at OSCON at 5:20 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, July 21, 2010.
