Home page Description:
The new network will advance research at UHN and be accessible to all Toronto hospitals.
Posted On: February 06, 2015
UHN and SickKids have joined efforts to create HPC4Health, a service that provides researchers and clinicians with cloud-based high performance computing. The resource-sharing model will be secure and will satisfy personal health information privacy requirements.
HPC4Health is a necessary resource for scientists in today’s world of big data. This huge volume of data is created by increasingly complex research modalities, such as molecular analyses and medical imaging, and requires high performance computing servers and storage solutions to keep pace. HPC4Health will address this need, ultimately serving to fast track medical research and to improve clinical decision making.
The infrastructure will be housed at the new Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning at SickKids. It will be accessible to all Toronto hospitals and there are plans to eventually expand access to the service across Canada. HPC4Health was made possible by support from Compute Ontario, Compute Canada, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and SickKids Foundation.
