Future

3. Data generation
Shenzhen, 20 GAII, 76bp PE reads & 100bp PE reads, 1.2T RTA data/day
Hongkong, 76bp PE reads, 8 GAII, 500G RTA data/day
Beijing, 1 GA, 36bp SE reads, 200G raw data/day
4 month queuing jobs
need sequencing!

4. Computer Capacity 300 nodes 4000 CPU cores 4T memory 2.5P storage
30 Tflops peak value
