In this role, he is responsible for driving higher-end HPC world-wide business strategies to meet the challenges of leadership-class institutions. Having recently joined HP's HPC business unit, Dr. Wheat brings his 35-year HPC career to bear on his new role. He started in the Oil and Gas applications domain in Houston, then going to AT&T Bell Labs, where the majority of his tenure was on parallel HPC systems software for sonar processing, then going to Sandia National Labs, where his research was in massively parallel systems software. It was during his tenure at Sandia that he won the 1994 Gordon Bell Prize for performance. Subsequently, he spent 20 years at Intel, where he served in many leadership HPC roles, including being WW GM of HPC. Dr. Wheat's Ph.D. is in Computer Science, with a focus on massively parallel systems software. His M.S. and B.S. were also in Computer Science. Dr. Wheat's extracurricular activities include photography, recreational bicycling, and flying, where he is a commercial multi-engine pilot and certified flight instructor for instrument/multi-engine aircraft. He is the father of four and grandfather of nine. He and his wife of 35 years, Charlene, live in Houston, Texas.Attendance in 2014 was 271: 85 (31%) from OU, 186 (69%) non-OU (or unstated) 184 (68%) academic, 87 (32%) non-academic (or unstated) 28 academic institutions in 8 states 29 commercial firms 9 government agencies (federal and state) 4 non-governmental organizations 171 (63%) Oklahoman, 100 (37%) non-Oklahoman (or unstated) 217 (80%) from EPSCoR jurisdictions, 54 (20%) not from EPSCoR jurisdictions (or unstated) The 13 Symposia to date have had aggregate attendance over 3000, from: 112 academic institutions from 27 US states and territories including 61 academic institutions from 14 EPSCoR jurisdictions 143 private companies 37 government agencies (federal, state, municipal, foreign) 20 non-governmental organizationsNext Generation Sequencing (NGS), the basis for volume sequencing enablement, has been around for several years. The volume of sequencers deployed per year remains on an exponential growth path. Nevertheless, the vision of sequencing-enabled personalized medicine has come to fruition for relatively few people. The community consensus is that bringing this to large populations remains 5-7 years out. Nevertheless, some projects are underway to path-find means to accelerate this. In this talk, we will review the solution architecture that will enable this from a technology perspective. Furthermore, we will review the efforts of the Intel/HP HPC Alliance with respect to driving these solutions into actual implementation. While the solutions architecture will be focused on the NGS work flow, the elements of the architecture are pertinent to other HPC work flows.Computer ScienceSupercomputingHigh performance computingPresentation© 2015 Intel Corporation
