INESC-ID gained fast and accurate detection of undiscovered combinations of gene mutations that contribute to complex health conditions and diseases (such as breast cancer or Alzheimer’s disease) using Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel® HPC Toolkit on Intel CPUs and GPUs. This research institute also gained:
- Nearly 9x acceleration in epistasis detection using the Cache Aware Roofline Model feature of Intel® Advisor when compared to the baseline implementation.
- Up to 14% better performance on Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series than on an NVIDIA* A100 GPU.
- Up to 52% average performance improvement on Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series 9480 when compared to the previous generation of Intel CPUs.
