  • HTC computing enables knee research

    High-throughput computing plays pivotal role in knee biomechanics research

  • Facilitation principles

    Office hours were busy last week. In the space of 1.5 hours, I covered script troubleshooting, managing disk space and quota, conceptualizing how to modify an R script for high-throughput computing, and advising a new workflow for a Psychology project. All that to say, I have learned a LOT since starting in my role as…

  • HIV elite controllers

    High-throughput computing, HIV and the mystery of ‘elite controllers’

  • 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…
