Cornell's Supercomputer Is Built from Pentium Chips

Oct 07, 1999
Premium

ITHACA, NY--Cornell University researchers may have created the most cost-effective supercomputer in a project that linked off-the-shelf components--a cluster of 256 Intel Pentium III microprocessors--together to act as a super-computer. The machine, called the AC3 Velocity Cluster, consists of 64 rack-mounted Dell Poweredge 6350 servers, each incorporating four Pentium III chips and running Microsoft's Windows NT.

Target Enrichment NGS Panel Outperforms the Gold Standard for Sequence and CNV Analysis

Sponsored by
Roche

Target enrichment has been a major driver behind the clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) over the last decade because it simplifies analysis and provides a cost-effective method of massive parallel resequencing. It has not only replaced Sanger sequencing, but it is actively dispensing the need for parallel copy number variant (CNV) analysis using classic techniques.
