HPCBIOS_2012-93: Life Sciences Productivity Environment

Note

Life Sciences Productivity Environment includes a set of HPC tools which are needed for scientific computing and visualization in the respective domain. The following is an attempt to define which ones are relevant for the HPCBIOS communities and set an action plan.

  • BC Policy: HPCBIOS_2012-93
  • Date of Policy: 2012-12-15

The main objective of this policy is to provide the following common productivity environment across any HPCBIOS resources:
