Writer <\/strong>Andre Encarnacion<\/p>\n Supercomputer\u2019s name: BINUS Supercomputing Cluster<\/strong><\/p>\n Location:\u00a0Bina Nusantara (BINUS) University AI R&D Center, Jakarta, Indonesia<\/p>\n Fast facts:\u00a0Developed to service BINUS University\u2019s genomics and deep learning needs, this workhorse is used in research projects tackling everything from cancer biomarkers to distance learning. With its versatility, the cluster is poised to propel BINUS University into a center for collaborative biomedical and artificial intelligence (AI)-focused research in all of Indonesia.<\/p>\n Top speed:\u00a025.78 teraFLOPS<\/p>\n Compute cores:\u00a034 Intel Xeon CPUs<\/p>\n Accelerators:\u00a011,712 NVIDIA Tesla and GeForce GPUs<\/p>\n Highlights:\u00a0The BINUS AI R&D Center team recently used this cluster to process the first genome-wide association study for the Indonesian population, which aimed to discover the relationship between specific genetic variations and the country\u2019s most serious diseases. Although Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world, with over 270 million people spanning 1,340 different ethnic groups, its people remain underrepresented in global genetics studies.<\/p>\n
