• Storage-Centric Computing for Genomics and Metagenomics

    DBH 4011 Donald Bren Hall, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, United States

    DATE/TIME: Thursday, October 17th, 3:00pm
    SPEAKER: Nika Mansouri Ghiasi, ETH Zürich
    The exponential growth of genomic data poses unprecedented challenges in genomics and metagenomic applications. These applications suffer from significant data movement overheads from the storage system. To fundamentally address these overheads, we make a case for storage-centric computing.
