PACA Bioinfo is online accessible to scientific communities of both the academic and private sectors. Proposals for collaboration must be initiated via a project submission from the potential extarnal partners to the facility scientific advisory board.
The PACA Bioinfo facility relies on 880 CPU cores, 18432 GPU cores, 5 To of RAM and 250 To of storage which are distributed as follows:
-one multi GPU server dedicated to cryo-microscopy,
-three large memory servers dedicated to (meta)genomes assembly and large processes,
-71 computing nodes,
-one server dedicated to host the galaxy portal of the IMM (under development),
-three servers to manage storage and schedule tasks,
-three servers embedding virtual machines to host services of the facility.
Two main types of services are provided through this equipment:
-an online access via websites or internet portals to all (e.g., phylogeny.fr, ACD Tools) or only in some cases to the hosting laboratory members such as for the Galaxy portal. -offers for collaboration; the facility staff already participated in many international successful projects (e.g., Tara, Oceanomics, Spongex, permagenomics).
