1 x supermicro 2U 2x10-core
1 x supermicro 1U 2x24-core
1 x supermicro AMD EPYC 7452 4 x 32-core
2 xU Intel Dual CPU
1 x Lynx Calleo / Intel Modular Server
Application: Storage of protein structure data, protein structure comparison/search, calculation of protein classifications, derivation of energy functions for protein structure analysis, immunoinformatics, computational systems biology, processing of sequencing raw data, integration of multi-omics data, analysis of single-cell data, modelling of biological networks, machine learning, etc.
In many cases, the results obtained are also made available to the scientific community as a web service.
The PC infrastructure comprises approx. 20 desktop computers (Linux, Windows, MacOS X).
Use: software development, data analysis, etc.
