BioTeam Opening Session: Pivoting and maximizing your HPC resources; Lessons learned from the critical role and rapid expansion during the SARS-CoV-2 Crisis

Modern data science approaches and the application of advanced technology and high-performance computing (HPC) have made possible the recent scientific breakthroughs that are helping to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. When the extent of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was realized, the world went into survival mode. Governance bodies quickly removed many of the typical restrictions on health data. They lowered international collaboration barriers while supercomputing centers and public cloud providers offered prioritized and low-cost time on their systems for this critical research. This change allowed great minds and scientific computing systems to converge and collaborate in real-time to hunt for the cure.
