Wellcome TrustSangerInstituteUsinganalyticstooptimizehighperformancecomputingcapacityacross15,000cores

ProblemThe Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Hinxton, England, wanted to accelerate results to meet scientific journal publication deadlines and secure funding for future projects.

Solution• Platform LSF® policy-based scheduler• IBM® Platform™ Analytics with Custom dashboards showing cluster

utilization according to criteria such as job, job submitter & memory use• IBM® Platform™ Process Manager for workflow design and executionOutcome• Each job runs on the optimal compute node increasing throughput across

the HPC environment• Researchers understand the factors that reduce processing efficiency,

and take action to improve performance• A clear record of efficient compute utilization enables a

strong business case for future growth investments

DESY- ResearchinstituteinGermanyAcceleratingexperimentaloutcomeswithIBMSoftwareDefinedInfrastructure

Solution components

The Challenge Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron needed a solution that could keep up with one of the most powerful x-rays in the world, rapidly delivering experimental results to researchers

The SolutionA high-performance IBM storage and compute solution to support increasingly sophisticated experiments and offers analysis-as-a-service, allowing scientists to tap into DESY’s particle accelerator facilities and access the data from anywhere in the world.

The Results§ Accelerates research with data available for analysis in

4 minutes, down from 2-3 days§ Accommodates more demanding projects, handling 20GB/second§ Scales up for continuing innovation
