Lenovo Genomics Optimization and Scalability Tool (GOAST) Bioinformatics Solution
Last Updated: Aug 31, 2024
Lenovo has released new GOAST v4.0 with major updates to accelerate bioinformatics performance further. GOAST Capabilities Extremely Fast Bioinformatics Analytics Lenovo GOAST is a multi-purpose system specifically engineered to meet the demands of bioinformatics workloads. GOAST leverages an architecture of carefully selected hardware tuned to accelerate bioinformatics performance. Lenovo GOAST’s high-core, fast I/O, and high-memory specs (Table 1) excel at running the massively parallel applications and sequential workflows common in bioinformatics, including multi-omics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) applications. GOAST accelerates mapping and whole-genome sequencing variant calling analytics from days to hours—a process that today in many data centers around the world takes more than 24 hours runs at a throughput rate of 1.77 samples per hour or 16 samples in 9 hours.
