Reference Architecture for NGS HPC

A week ago (2012.07.18), I released the second version of my reference architecture for next-gen sequencing HPC infrastructure. It was based on the first version which was implemented in four projects (MU, NWU Feinberg, KSU and UofAz). For the new version, I incorporated many new features:

  • Adding Hadoop cluster – to handle 2nd analysis workload ported to Hadoop
  • Adding Compute cluster (CPU, GPU and FPGA) – to handle 2nd analysis workload
  • Adding deep/active archive (adopted from refac of Petascale Active Archive)
  • Adding workload management with Platform LSF, Application Center (PAC) and Process Manager (PM)
  • Adding Cloud management with Platform PCM-AE
  • Adding analytical engines (for statistical and predictive analysis, and integration with other -omics data)
