Congratulations to both of them-- #Biowulf Power PIs!

[NIH Intramural @IRPatNIH]

Congratulations to the #NIH_IRP's Drs. John O’Shea (@NIH_NIAMS) and Andre Nussenzweig (@theNCI) on their election to the National Academy of Sciences (@theNASciences)! Read more: https://t.co/ZIfxdtvUfX

A nice history of CIT featuring some info and a baby picture of #Biowulf

[NIH HPC @nih_hpc]

When your pipelines generate HTML reports on #biowulf, you don't have to copy all the results back to your desktop to catch a glimpse. Use hpcdrive to locally mount your hpc storage and browse directly to it. https://t.co/A4tTMBzPos #TipTuesday

Paul Gonzalez from our lab @genome_gov @IRPatNIH presenting his work on the evolution of non-coding elements associated with homeobox genes at #SICB2023 – an extremely computationally intensive study that wouldn't have been possible without being #PoweredByBiowulf! @NIH_HPC

Sofia Barreira from our lab @genome_gov @IRPatNIH presenting her work on the evolutionary history of the nucleolar transcription factor at #SICB2023... sequence meets structure! #AlphaFold #ProteinFolding

Be careful about loading modules and activating conda environments in your bashrc. It's nice to have all your tools at your fingertips when you log in, but they don't always integrate well with each other. Load only what you need when you need it. #TipTuesday

If you have a lot of short (<5min) jobs, bundle them up to get a bulk discount on your scheduling time. swarm's --bundle option will group them into bundles & run each bundled command in succession within a single subjob.

You: I have a lot of samples to process. I’ll just run sbatch out of a for-loop, and then I—
Us: No! Use a job array. Or even better, use swarm on #Biowulf.

[NIH HPC @nih_hpc]

Do you have short ( < 4 hr) jobs that you want to start quickly on #Biowulf? Consider submitting to the 'quick' partition to get priority scheduling. #TipTuesday

[NIH Intramural @IRPatNIH]

Impressive! To learn about some of the ways that #NIH #COVID19 research in particular has been #PoweredByBiowulf, check out this piece on our "I Am Intramural" #blog: https://t.co/ctQ7YAr85L

[NIH HPC @nih_hpc]

There are now 5000 papers #PoweredByBiowulf! 🥳 We're proud to support the @IRPatNIH with this essential resource and looking forward to enabling many more papers to come. ☺️

[NIH HPC @nih_hpc]

Your #biowulf job is coming up on its walltime limit, but it's not done yet 😬 What do you do? Use newwall to extend your walltime*! #TipTuesday

*up to the partition time limit. other restrictions apply. see https://t.co/PWeRVkXZwA for details

The user dashboard is your #Biowulf control room. See and request changes to your groups and disk quotas. Monitor your jobs and resource utilization. https://t.co/SzOD71cGMX #TipTuesday

Using network storage for temp files is like making a new trip to the store for each ingredient in your sandwich. Reduce traffic 🚦. Use local scratch instead. https://t.co/nCUN7HaQE7 #TipTuesday

Curious how #NIH researchers are utilizing @nih_hpc's #Biowulf #supercomputer in their research? Visit the "I Am Intramural" #blog to learn about one such study that could help lead to a medication that reduces the side effects of #cancer #chemotherapy: https://t.co/dvi8cdHZ5z

Congratulations!

[National Human Genome Research Institute @genome_gov]

Congratulations to @genome_gov’s @JulieSegre, who has been elected to @theNASciencesfor for her work in microbial genomics and human health! Her research has been crucial in tracking several skin diseases. Read more about her amazing research career: https://t.co/GgeWYRwzJs

@aphillippy Congratulations to you and all of #T2T! We're proud to have been of assistance to this important project.

[NIH Intramural @IRPatNIH]

Congratz to @aphillippy and his #NIH @genome_gov team, as well as their collaborators in the #T2T consortium, on this huge achievement! And, of course, the team at @nih_hpc, who run the Biowulf #supercomputer that leant its massive computational power to this effort!

[Adam Phillippy @aphillippy]

@BaxevanisLab @genome_gov Thanks Andy! And mark this down as another @nih_hpc success story. All the assemblies ran there and the whole consortium relied on our Globus share, all during a pandemic. Hats off to them!

[NIH Intramural @IRPatNIH]

A great example of how #NIH's #Biowulf #supercomputer has assisted with #COVID19 research @nih_hpc
