Hello, Can any applications in Galaxy use GPU hardware (e.g. for processing next gen data)?
Thanks, Isabelle PS: From Enis's reply to a post from last year, it looked like the answer was no at the time On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 8:59 PM, <[hidden email]> wrote: ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] Wiki erratum...

Because MPI-type jobs are the only true beneficiaries of the cluster instances, but only a handful of bioinformatics software are actually implemented using MPI and because those instances require a different AMI, we do not currently have support for that type of instances - maybe down the line. Nonetheless, in the coming new version Galaxy Cloud (currently being tested), the application will be able to automatically scale the size of the cluster based on the current workload. -- Isabelle Phan, DPhil Seattle Biomedical Research Institute +1(206)256 7113 ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
