  • When a lot of little things add up to a lot of time; HTCondor to the rescue

    When a lot of little things add up to a lot of time; HTCondor to the rescue

    A student sits at his desk, fretting. The clock is ticking, the deadline is looming, and the giant mound of data he desperately needs processed remains, stubbornly and unabashedly, unaltered. He’s tried many things, but it’s only him and his workstation against the monstrosity of information he’s attempting to subdue. His PC, by itself, is…

  • Microbial communities and rapid evolution

    Microbial communities may inform understanding of rapid evolution Lauren Michael, a research computing facilitator at the Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC), says researchers tend to use the CHTC resources for two reasons: they have massive volumes of data or a need for incredibly complex computations. Bontrager has a bit of both, and uses the…

  • Using the Grid to Understand Crops

    UW botanist harnesses the grid to illuminate crop growth Spalding’s Birge Hall lab is pretty far removed from conventional dirt-under-the-nails botany. In one room, a row of stationary cameras bathed in red light train in on Petri dishes that contain seedlings growing in a gel. These cameras take pictures every two minutes, producing rich time-lapse…

  • Big data and Alzheimer’s detection

    Campus big data project may point the way to Alzheimer’s early detection The team uses the Center for High Throughput Computing (CHTC), supported by UW-Madison and the Morgridge Institue, to segment MRI brain images that in some cases can take 12-24 hours for a single brain. “For many hundreds of brain scans, we need a…
