"BigData is a very hot term" Park said. "Genome sequencing is one of the major drivers for Big Data research. It is unusual to produce many terrabytes of data in sequencing the human genome, or trillions of digital information bytes. But processing terrabytes of data has been a headache for researchers using their own equpiment."
"Louisiana has a huge amount of compuatational Power. We have Super Computers at LSU. We recently Purchased Supermike-II, Which became a super-class computer. With this project, we can help researchers bring their data to bigger machines, not just one or two computers." Park added.
