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."
