Accelerated Computing - IBM Watson in Genomics

We are partnering with IBM to bring you a unique presentation on cutting edge technology on advancing the frontiers of healthcare: what happens when you put IBM's Watson to work on genome data analysis.

The IBM Worldwide Genomics team, IBM Systems and OpenPOWER Foundation members such as Edico Genome are partnering to accelerate genomics analysis and thus build a transformational platform that supports Sequencing Pipelines as well as the Early Scientific Discovery and Personalized Healthcare platforms. You are cordially invited to an important event to learn what is possible when IBM Watson OpenPOWER systems, high performance computing architecture and accelerators are combined and applied to genome data analysis.

Discover how:

• IBM Reference Architecture for Genomics can help dramatically improve scientific productivity

• Cognitive computing power of IBM Watson and the integration of DNA sequencing analysis of patient healthcare dates can lead to discovery and personalized medicine

• Edico Genome solution accelerates analysis times by 60 fold for whole genome and whole exome sequencing using their DRAGEN technology
