DESCRIPTION:High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures offer the comp
 utational scale and efficiency that life scientists need to handle complex
  biological datasets and multi-step computational workflows. But scaling w
 orkflows to HPC from smaller\, more familiar computational infrastructures
  brings with it new jargon\, expectations\, and processes to learn. To mak
 e the most of HPC resources\, bioinformatics workflows need to be designed
  for distributed computing environments and carefully manage varying resou
 rce requirements\, and data scale related to biology.  \n\nIn this webinar
 \, Dr Georgina Samaha from the Sydney Informatics Hub\, Dr Matthew Downton
  from the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and Dr Sarah Beecrof
 t from the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre help you navigate the wor
 ld of HPC for running and developing bioinformatics workflows. They explai
 n when you should take your workflows to HPC and highlight the architectur
 al features you should make the most of to scale your analyses once you’
 re there. You’ll hear pro-tips for dealing with common pain points like 
 software installation\, optimising for parallel computing and resource man
 agement\, and will find out how to get access to Australia’s National HP
 C infrastructures at NCI and Pawsey. \n\n**Speakers:**\n\nDr Georgina Sama
