• HPC is more than supercomputers. Needs of community include: – Clusters and workstations– Cloud computing

• Community collaboration is needed to avoid effort duplication through software and tools sharing

• A central web-site/data repository would be great for community software and other information sharing

High Performance Computing

• Wasted effort and frustrating process of applying for computer time at computing centers:– Build community presence (biomedical

research is under-represented at these centers)– Approach and apply for computing center

resources as a group

• Training of students and post-docs– More than web-pages– Need interactive tutorials and workshops

High Performance Computing

• Organize keynote talks at national meetings around the success stories of MSM+HPC in biomedical research
