HPC: A Matter of Life or Death
SESSION: Tuesday HPC Impact Showcase Presentations
EVENT TYPE: HPC Impact Showcase & Emerging Technologies
TIME: 10:20AM - 11:00AM
SESSION CHAIR: David Martin
Speaker(s):Terry Boyd
ROOM:Show Floor - 233 Theater
ABSTRACT:
This session will use the example of a fictitious "zombie virus" outbreak to demonstrate the multiple applications of HPC to public health. These include:
1. Big Data Analysis to detect outbreaks
2. Spatial modeling and modeling of potential outbreaks to develop emergency response plans
3. Genomic evaluation of suspected disease outbreaks
4. Drug manufacturing and supply modeling
5. Contact tracing and response modeling to evaluate current activities and improve response activities
6. Post-event analysis to prepare for the next epidemic.
Though this session will use a fictitious zombie outbreak as the basis for discussion in order to increase interest in the session, the uses described will be applicable to real life outbreaks such as Ebola and H1N1.

David Martin (Chair) - Argonne National Laboratory
