Recently, Mohammed Alarawi a Research Specialist at the Computational Bioscience Research Center (CBRC) was invited as a speaker at the Supercomputing Asia Conference 2022 (SCA2022).
Co-organized by HPC centers from Singapore, Japan and Australia, Supercomputing Asia (SCA) 2022 is an annual conference that encompasses an umbrella of notable supercomputing and allied events in Asia. SCA22 was held as a hybrid conference this year from the 1st of March until the 3rd of March 2022. The key objective of Supercomputing Asia conference is to promote a vibrant and relevant HPC ecosystem in Asia.
Mohammed works in the domain of computational biology research in data generation, processing, handling and designing projects involved in genome and metagenomics. He works in the computational data analysis for public health and infectious diseases, where mass volume of data can drive insights. Connecting physical dots as datacenters, and abstraction dots as knowledge generation ready for text mining and other secondary use.
The title of Mohammed's talk at the seminar was "The Bio/medical data HPC landscape in Saudi Arabia."
Details of his talk can be found on the SCA2022 website.
Track Title
Asia Pacific Research Platform (APRP) and Data Mover challenge (DMC)
Presentation Topic
The Bio/medical data HPC landscape in Saudi arabia.
Abstract
Biological data be far much more complex than ordinary numerical datasets. Usually, a live system is digitalized by capturing a large sets of data, this data on its own can generate intermediate dataset, up to final results. The global presence on public databases for biological data in increasing in number and volume. The global challenges of making this data at disposal to compute is a necessity to be addressed. The KAUST genomics cloud is an approach to work on this with research networks growing in Saudi Arabia and in MENA region.
