CLIMB project receives honours for supporting COG-UK alongside other computing teams
HPCwire has presented the Cloud Infrastructure for Microbial Bioinformatics (CLIMB) project, alongside other computing teams across COG-UK, with the Readers’ Best High Performance Computing Collaboration award, after providing COG-UK with vital computing infrastructure and bioinformatics analysis.
The critical role of the CLIMB project in supporting the COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium has been recognised by HPCwire in the 2020 Readers’ and Editors’ Choice Awards.
CLIMB, alongside other computing teams across COG-UK, was presented with the Readers’ Best High Performance Computing Collaboration award during the virtual International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC20) via HPCwire.com.
CLIMB has proved pivotal to COG-UK in providing the computing infrastructure and bioinformatics analysis capability that has so far helped sequence over 110,000 virus genomes — to help understand the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and advise local and national control strategies.
