GEMSTONE SYSTEMS: Gemstone Systems Speaks On Data Caching Technology At Eu-India Grid Workshop(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:23062008 Bangalore, India and Beaverton, Ore.-- GemStone Systems, a leading provider of distributed data management and virtualization solutions participated at the EU-IndiaGrid workshop on Applications in Computational Biology. During the session, GemStone discussed the need for performance and scale in computational biology and how existing data solutions are not meeting the challenge of low latency and high scalability for these communities. In addition, GemStone also discussed how technology like GemFire acts as a data grid in computational biology and satisfies the performance and scalability requirements for these communities. The event brought together students, research scholars and key IT players from industrial and governmental organizations with specialization in Mathematics, Biology, Pharmacy, Chemical Sciences, Computer Science, Applications and Engineering to discuss and exchange experience in the field of computational biology. "In-memory, distributed data management is the future of active data infrastructure," said Mitul Bid, manager of technology for GemStone Systems. "Solutions like GemFire are extracting the true powers of high end hardware and networks and in effect helping to bring the performance and scale needed." The event was organized by the Departments of Mathematics and Bioinformatics, Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal, in May 2008. EU-IndiaGridis a scientific consortium that endeavors to create a common, interoperable Grid infrastructure interconnecting the European and Indian scientific communities in order to better support existing EU-Indian collaborations in eScience. It promotes new collaborations in the fields of high energy physics, earth and material science and biology applications. An EU-IndiaGrid enables interconnection between the most relevant European Grid infrastructure, EGEE, and the Indian grid infrastructure, GARUDA INDIA. Applications in Computational Biologyprovided exposure of concepts, skills, tools and techniques inthe area of Gridand High Performance Computing applications. It also focused on the awareness of the grid computing Indian and European initiative and its potential impact on computational biology applications invarious fields. "Computational biology poses new challenges for the mathematics, computer science, information technology and information science professionals, such as developing efficient algorithms to search for systems of genes or proteins and their interactions," said Dr. Pardasani, Head of Department of Mathematics, MANIT and Coordinator, EU-INDIA Grid Workshop. "These problems require expensive high speed computing tools, however, economical solutions like grid computing can by applied to various scenarios to help further research within computational biology. Coupled with GemStone's robust data management platform, grid infrastructures can streamline information delivery and offer low latency data access on-demand." AboutGemStone Systems, Inc.
