NTT docomo Business and Mitsui Information Systems conducted a joint demonstration on distributed workloads in genome analysis in the bio-field, utilizing the nationwide wide-area distributed GPU demonstration environment, “GPU over APN Testbed.”

In the demonstration, large-scale genome data analysis was performed by combining workload optimization technologies such as storage access, which Mitsui Information Systems is researching and developing, with high-speed search technologies for genome analysis data. As a result, they succeeded in reducing analysis time by approximately 25-29%.

Based on the knowledge gained from the demonstration, both companies aim to improve data utilization and research productivity in research institutions and the medical field by considering ways to address the increasing amount of genome analysis data and effectively utilize limited computing resources.
