Prof. Richard Frackowiak (University of Lausanne)9/1/14, 4:00 PMBig Data and Storage SystemsWe now know that a single gene mutation may present with multiple phenotypes, and vice versa, that a range of genetic abnormalities may cause a single phenotype. These observations lead to the conclusion that a deeper understanding is needed of the way changes at one spatial or temporal level of organisation (e.g., genetic, proteomic or metabolic) integrate and translate into others,...Go to contribution page

Karl Fürlinger (University of Munich)9/5/14, 9:00 AMThe two most common approaches for parallel programming are message passing (for example using MPI, the message passing interface) and threading (for example using OpenMP or Pthreads). Threading is generally considered an easier and more straightforward solution for parallel programming but it can generally only be used on a single shared memory node. MPI, on the other hand, scales...Go to contribution page
