As the cost of sequencing drops and the quantity of data produced by sequencing grows, the amount of processing dedicated to genomics is increasing at a rapid pace.  [Genomics is evolving in a number of directions simultaneously.]  Complex pipelines are written in such a manner that they are portable to either clusters or clouds.  Key kernels are also being ported to GPUs in a drop-in replacement for their non-accelerated counterpart.  These techniques are helping to address challenges of scaling up genomics computations and porting validated pipelines to new systems.  However, all of these computations strain the bandwidth and capacity of available resources.  In this talk, Roche´s Tom Sheffler will share an overview of the memory-bound challenges present in genomics and venture some possible solutions.

What does an Intellectual Property strategy mean?  Most IP professionals consider an IP strategy to be setting goals, targets, and priorities, but have you considered framing your concepts for achieving your IP targets and expectations? This discussion emphasizes moving away from last-minute actions and adopting mid- and long-term approaches to ultimately contribute significantly to company results. By showing you how to build a solid alignment of IP activities with business objectives, we aim to provide you with the knowledge to create an “IP Ecosystem,” which will drive operational excellence in a sustainable way.
