Case Study: University of Bielefeld achieves scalable, high-throughput biotech HPC with Altair Grid Engine

Bielefeld University's Biotechnology Center Transcends Research Boundaries

The University of Bielefeld’s Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec) faced rapidly growing user demand and massive volumes of data that overwhelmed its existing HPC workflows. To reliably orchestrate workloads and boost throughput, the team selected Altair’s Grid Engine for its performance, rich features, and expert support.

Altair deployed Altair Grid Engine to optimize workload scheduling and cluster performance, providing a low‑learning‑curve, reliable orchestration layer. The solution enabled CeBiTec to handle large-scale datasets more efficiently, meet rising user demand, and accelerate cross-disciplinary biotechnology research while improving overall cluster throughput and reliability.
