Getting started with GPUs for bioinformatics
GPUs are hot property in biology! GPUs are speeding up bioinformatics workflows and making deep learning deep learning tools like AlphaFold possible.
Join us for a practical webinar that will get you working with GPUs without the steep learning curve. This webinar will get you primed to accelerate your science using this new toolkit and will give you a solid grounding in:
- How to access and use GPUs on Setonix
- Leveraging existing tools
- Porting tools from CUDA to HIP
- Writing GPU compatible containers
- Troubleshooting common issues
This webinar draws on real world use cases from Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre, the home of the largest GPU cluster in Australia.
Speakers:
Dr Sarah Beecroft, Life Sciences Supercomputing Specialist, Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre
Date/Time: 22 September 2026, 1 – 2 pm AEST / 12:30 – 1:30 pm ACST / 11 – 12 am AWST (check in your timezone)
Who the webinar is for:
This webinar is for life scientists and bioinformaticians who need to use and recreate GPU accelerated workflows.
How to join:
This webinar is free to join but you must register for a place in advance.
