Big Data analysis is a discipline with a growing number of areas where huge amounts of data is extracted and analyzed. Parallelization in Python integrates Message Passing Interface via mpi4py module. Since mpi4py does not support parallelization of objects greater than 2^31^ bytes, we developed BigMPI4py, a Python…

The usage of workflows has led to progress in many fields of science, where the need to process large amounts of data is coupled with difficulty in accessing and efficiently using High Performance Computing platforms. On the one hand, scientists are focused on their problem and concerned with how to process their data.…

With the ever-increasing demand for atomistic structures representative of real-life systems as well as the ad-vent of exascale computers, it has now become necessary and possible to use advanced global optimization (GO) techniques to intelligently sample the potential energy surface (PES). Given the previous studies…

The exploration of chemical systems occurs on complex energy landscapes. Comprehensively sampling rugged energy landscapes with many local minima is a common problem for molecular dynamics simulations. These multiple local minima trap the dynamic system, preventing efficient sampling. This is a particular challenge for…

For many next-generation sequencing pipelines, the most computationally intensive step is the alignment of reads to a reference sequence. As a result, alignment software such as the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) is optimized for speed and and is often executed in parallel on the cloud. However, there are other less…

This paper presents GLAS (Git-based Lab Automated Scheduler or Get Lab Automation Simplified), an open-source, robust, and highly expandable Git-based architecture designed for laboratory automation. GLAS can be deployed in both partially and fully automated experimental science laboratories, enabling the development…

Particle-based reaction-diffusion models offer a high-resolution alternative to the continuum reaction-diffusion approach, capturing the discrete and volume-excluding nature of molecules undergoing stochastic dynamics. These methods are thus uniquely capable of simulating explicit self-assembly of particles into…

Machine learning methods offer the opportunity to design new functional materials on an unprecedented scale however building the large, diverse databases of molecules on which to train such methods remains a daunting task. Automated computational chemistry modelling workflows are therefore becoming essential tools in…

Mechanistic kinetic models of biological pathways are an important tool for understanding biological systems. Constructing kinetic models requires fitting the parameters to experimental data. However, parameter fitting on these models is a non–convex, non–linear optimization problem. Many algorithms have been proposed…

High Performance Computing (HPC) Best Practice offers opportunities to implement lessons learned in areas such as computational chemistry and physics in genomics workflows, specifically Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows. In this study we will briefly describe how distributed-memory parallelism can be an…

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are essential for studying the time evolution of molecular systems. Still, their efficiency is often bottlenecked by file-based Inter-Process Communication (IPC) between MD and Electronic Structure (ES) programs. We present a socket-based IPC implementation that dramatically…

We present a highly scalable DFT-based QM/MM implementation developed within MiMiC, a recently introduced multiscale modeling framework that uses a loose-coupling strategy in conjunction with a multiple-program multiple-data (MPMD) approach. The computation of electrostatic QM/MM interactions is parallelized exploiting…
