Apps Ripe for Cloud Computing Which Apps? Next-generation DNA sequencing –Pattern recognition –Data mining Molecular modeling & simulation Protein docking Why? Burst/peak scale out Improving the application lifecycle Collaboration CloudSwitch Proprietary & Confidential3 Source: “Cloud Computing in Life Sciences,” Insight Pharma Reports, April, 2010; and Pharma Consultant “Often we want to take the data that we have, marry it up with data that’s publicly available – could be big genomic data sets – look at all of that collectively, and then extract value from that. So they’re very bursty. They really peak. It’s lots of data and then you’re done.” – Michael Heim, CIO, Eli Lilly

Early Adopters Eli Lilly: –64-machine cluster using Amazon EC2 –Completed sequence processing in 20 minutes vs 12 weeks –Cost: $6.40 –Plan to have up to 10 HPC applications “cloud enabled” by end of the year CloudSwitch Proprietary & Confidential4 http://www.sramanamitra.com/2010/10/08/boundaries-between-hpc-and-cloud-computing-vanishing / http://www.expresspharmaonline.com/20101031/market01.shtml “For us, it's pipeline, pipeline, pipeline. Anything we can do to further our knowledge, get products into the pipeline, and develop those more quickly, is crucial to us. It's hard to underestimate the value of letting scientists work at their own pace.” – Michael Heim, CIO, Eli Lilly Pfizer’s Biotherapeutics and Bioinnovation Center: –Used EC2 to develop & refine models in antibody-antigen docking runs –Shortened the process from days to hours

CloudSwitch HPC Scenario Large Pharma with 1000 Cores in Amazon EC2 –Created 500 compute node clones (1000 cores) in ~30 minutes –Provisioned all nodes via network boot (PXE) in the cloud in 45-60 minutes –Using Sun Grid Engine v6.2 as the queue master –Using Rocks v5.4 as the front-end “control” server –Started with 48-hour test for a high performance bioinformatics workload –Goal is to establish a more permanent footprint in the cloud Elasticity and Significantly Lower Capital Expenditure –Compute nodes are brought up when needed and shut down after the compute process was finished –Total cost of less than $10,000 to run 1,000 cores in Amazon for 48 hours –All done securely and seamlessly using CloudSwitch as the management control plane for the compute nodes and the Rocks and SGE environment CloudSwitch Proprietary & Confidential9
