Case Study: Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation accelerates scientific research with WEKA NeuralMesh

Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation cuts research job times 10x with Weka

The Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), a nonprofit biomedical research institute, faced a challenge in supporting its high-performance computing workloads for bioinformatics. Its research team needed a scalable data management solution to provide accelerated I/O throughput for GPU-enabled servers, support large-scale datasets, and seamlessly tier data to an archive, all while complying with a tight budget.

Weka implemented its NeuralMesh solution running on SuperMicro servers. This provided OMRF with massively improved data processing and storage performance, simplifying data management. The results were significant, with research job times reduced by 10x; some jobs were reduced from 70 days to just seven. This acceleration allowed scientists to run more jobs concurrently and dramatically improved research turnaround times.
