Chinese Lab Speeds Through Genome Processing With GPUs

Eric Smalley writes "The world's largest genome sequencing center once needed four days to analyze data describing a human genome. Now it needs just six hours. The trick is servers built with graphics chips — the sort of processors that were originally designed to draw images on your personal computer. They're called graphics processing units, or GPUs — a term coined by chip giant Nvidia. This fall, BGI — a mega lab headquartered in Shenzhen, China — switched to servers that use GPUs built by Nvidia, and this slashed its genome analysis time by more than an order of magnitude."

      I used to work with Texas Instruments TMS34010/32020/34082 processors in the 1990's. These were surface mounted onto a VGA graphics board, along with a number of TMS34082 vector processors and a few megabytes of memory (Hercules Graphics Station Card as an example). They had this really neat feature where you could cross-compile, download and execute programs on these boards as "extensions". You could do anything from encryption/decryption, image-processing to drawing lines and rendering triangles.

      Initially, these were known as "graphics accelerators", though they quickly became "graphics deaccelerators" as motherboard bus and CPU clock speeds increased so rapidly - those days PC clock speeds were 20 - 25MHz, graphics card clock speeds were 60 - 90 MHz.

There isalso A/V transcoding software that does as well. Why not more? One there used to be no unified API. You had CUDA for Nvidia and Firestream (I think) for AMD/ATI. OpenCL is supported by both, but I do not know if it has limits that the proprietary APIs do not. Second, just as more and more software has been rewritten to take advantage of multiple cores/CPUs (still have a long way to go there), the same will be true of software written to take advantage of GPUs. Not being a programmer (beyond a little scripting) myself, it seems logical that if it has taken this long for programmers (and compilers) to really start to take advantage of 2-8 processors, then learning what tasks can be broken down to several hundred or thousand smaller cores, and how to do it may take a while too. Hell, running a search in regedit in Windows 7 still takes 100% of one core, and only has one thread.

Thus, they can when suitably programmed, for example using CUDA, in parallel to compute solutions required to map problems of high combinatoric dimensionality onto a one dimensional space (sequence) very quickly compared to a CPU that would require serial computation on an extremely large combinatoric space. Effectively, it puts massive supercomputers in the petabyte and exabye processing speeds to be built with standard components at modest prices.

    Well there tis again for your reference!

    Plus, all that, in ADDition to his ISP busting him for email harassing me as well... he's touched! Remind YOU of anyone, hehe?

    It's ALL there on that page url above anyways.

    E.G. -> Some weird stuff, almost as bad as your 'secret admirer' internet weirdo psycho stalker profile you keep of ME on YOUR site... that's creepy stuff man, honestly! I hope you realize that... this from YOUR site, about me:

    http://paperlined.org/apps/slashdot/anonymous_APK [paperlined.org] [paperlined.org]

    lol! Flaky stuff imo, & as I noted above? Way, way off about me on many accounts!

    Some of which like saying I have narcissistic something or other, and you admitting your fruity in the brain with ADD? Hell, that's funny man, it TRULY is!

    Jeremy Reimer also wrote childish libellous songs about me, & more too (like edited photos etc.)... & the strange part, the really weird part??

    The guy's 33 years of age - the "sheer maturity" of Arstechnica/OSY forums people, lol, eh?

    Like I said, it's up there @ that URL!

    Ah, anyhow:

    Oh & Yea - My job's just fine. I like it! Forensics stuff, & data security etc. in nature MOSTLY...

    PLUS, There is no "making up lawyers" in my world, not @ all. I keep one on retainer in fact, it's worth it just in case etc. & for GOOD reasons!

    (This is because I enter into contracts & early on a decade or so ago? Well, I got burned once pretty bad, being told I would get one wage, & then being paid, lol (got suckered) minimum wage one time because my headhunter burnt me, I never signed off a contract with him (written one, all verbal)).

    Shit like that, lol, (I can laugh about it now, my bad, it was 10 years back now)? Teaches you lessons!

    I do have work though, pretty cool job (not coding as much as I would like to be doing) but more "forensics" in nature, & for a HUGE financial firm (which shall remain nameless, I don't give out that kind of info., not until job is done/thru etc. @ least). :)

    * Risk mgt./Anonymity & all that... unlike your posting your personal weirdness about me here (which is WAY off base stuff... flaky actually, but coming from you, after I know now you do have mental issues & probably are on somekind of meds (are you?)) here in my P.S. below & the other paperlined.org url about me above... lol, Well, man... I dunno about you! Again - "Dr. Arkham Asylum" would be a GOOD nickname/handle for you imo, lol!

    (Especially with YOUR trying to 'diagnose me' medically on your page url up there on your site, lol... that's CERTAINLY rich! Pot calling the kettle black? Oh, lol, hell yea, absolutely!)

    I would like to see your PhD in Psychiatry &/or Psychology first though, might lend credence to your bottom-line @ that URL above about me on your site, lol!

      Also: we're not stalking you, we're making fun of you. There's a difference. Now, Michael Kristohoweveryouspellit's stuff, posting addresses etc, that's dubious and, in my view, across the line. Although he's not "libelling" you by calling you a victim to a crime - just so you know. But in any case, don't confuse him with us. We think he's ridiculous too, which is why we got involved in this thread in the first place.

      Now, about that kook thing: don't worry, you're in good company. The original Internet kook was none other than Jerry Pournelle. Like you, Pournelle has a degree or two, which means he's better than the rest of us, but he actually got kicked off the Internet before Al Gore had a chance to push through the bills that made it available to everyone (and thus made it the Internet as we know it.) And he got kicked off because, well, his inflated ego (never did like his books, other than them satisfying the prejudices of right wing science fiction readers I can't imagine why he's popular.

    Question is, do you dumbo?

    Ping could issue a ping of death too dumb ass (except that's only on OLDER OS' before they patched it).

    In case you didn't realize it dumbo, take a read:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_of_death

    "A ping of death (abbreviated "POD") is a type of attack on a computer that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer. A ping is normally 32 bytes in size (or 84 bytes when the Internet Protocol [IP] header is considered); historically, many computer systems could not handle a ping packet larger than the maximum IPv4 packet size, which is 65,535 bytes. Sending a ping of this size could crash the target computer.[1] In early implementations of TCP/IP, this bug was easy to exploit. This exploit has affected a wide variety of systems, including Unix, Linux, Mac, Windows, printers, and routers. However, most systems since 1997â"1998 have been fixed, so this bug is mostly historical.[1] Generally, sending a 65,536-byte ping packet would violate the Internet Protocol as written in RFC 791, but a packet of such a size can be sent if it is fragmented; when the target computer reassembles the packet, a buffer overflow can occur, which often causes a system crash."

      No, it can't. No mainstream operating system has ever shipped with a version of ping that outputs malformed ping packets, let alone ping packets malformed in a way that would cause a PoD. Ever. Exploiting the PoD requires a specially written tool to output a malformed ping packet. You cannot use the ping command to do that.

      If I'm wrong, it's fairly easy to prove. Show me the bug report that reports to Microsoft, Canonical, or Apple, that the ping command shipped with their system outputs malformed ping packets. And in the mean time, demonstrate for me how a Windows 7 machine can crash an unpatched Windows 95 machine using the ping command. Don't just handwave and claim it's "fact", put up or shut up. Tell me the exact command line to issue from a Windows 7 Administrator cmd.exe window to crash a Windows 95 machine whose IP address is 10.0.0.1.

      You won't because you can't. You can't because you don't know what you're talking about. You've never known what you're talking about. The same thing goes for the "Spybot SAD" hosts file modification thing. You don't understand why CA was asking about modifying HOSTS, which interestingly enough probably means you unintentionally fed false information to them about the operation of your application.

      You claim your app isn't scriptable, yet also claim it's "two lines of code" which means it cannot possibly verify that the application its hiding is what you intended it to be. So it is scriptable, and it is usable by a malware writer. Which is probably why most malware organizations still report the software as malware.

      Meanwhile you post here over and over again with increasingly ridiculous assertions about your work and knowledge, and cannot understand it when a bunch of us find it hilarious and needle you over it.

      If you know of a way to use the ping command to exploit the PoD please post it here. More importantly, make sure Microsoft, Canonical/GNU, the various *BSD groups, and Apple are made aware of it immediately. If their ping utilities, as shipped, are outputting malformed packets, then they have major bugs in them. You would be utterly irresponsible not to let them know.

    Most? LOL, I don't see you listing the TRUE MAJORS out there like:

    AVG
    McAfee
    Norton
    NOD32/ESET
    Microsoft Security Essentials
    etc./et al

    & others of THEIR calibre (not the "bottom feeders" you noted, lol, minor leaguers that got their info. from CA! CA the "fine company" caught in CRIMINAL accounting scandals, & had to SELL OF THEIR PC TOOLS DIVISION (their stuff was subpar compared to the likes of the above list I just put out).

    "No, it can't. No mainstream operating system has ever shipped with a version of ping that outputs malformed ping packets, let alone ping packets malformed in a way that would cause a PoD. Ever. Exploiting the PoD requires a specially written tool to output a malformed ping packet. You cannot use the ping command to do that. If I'm wrong, it's fairly easy to prove." - by squiggleslash (241428) on Thursday January 19, @01:27PM (#38750686) Homepage

    Your link is simply wrong. A conforming TCP/IP stack does not allow such a ping packet to actually make it to the Internet if sent via the calls most implementations of ping use. Indeed, the only machines that would not check the size are the machines vulnerable to the PoD in the first place - ie you might be able to use it to crash your own PC, but you couldn't use it to crash another PC.

    In any case, your assertion is that the ping utility TODAY could be considered malware because, you claim, it can be used to send the "ping of death".

    So let's repeat the challenge.

    You have a cmd.exe window open on a Windows 7 PC. Or a Windows XP PC. Or Vista. Or a terminal window with a bash prompt on any version of Mac OS X, or any version of Ubuntu, or any version of OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD.

    Tell me what to type to get ping to send a ping of death.

    You can't. It's just not possible. No operating system ships with a version of ping capable of sending the PoD.

    If I were you, I'd give up. Let's recap:

    1. Ping cannot be used to send the PoD. If it could, you'd demonstrate, and file a bug report, rather than say vague statements about older operating systems that do not even make sense.

    2. There's a major difference between an anti-spyware tool making modifications to a hosts file, and a piece of spyware doing the same. Your inability to tell the difference means you've almost certainly passed false information on to CA.

    3. Your "two lines of code" is obviously scriptable.

    4. You cannot tell the difference between someone ridiculing you, and someone stalking you.

    Finally, just a reminder: when we first conversed online, I was trying to help you out by pointing out that you weren't exactly presenting yourself in the best light. You choose to treat such advice in the same way that you've treated virtually everyone else you argue with online. Now I'm making fun of you. As is Tom, GMHowell, and all the others who find you hysterical.

    I just logged in and found you responded to all my most recent comments, in many cases, multiple times, with the same ridiculous APKish speal. This is supposed to make people view you positively, and me negatively, how, exactly?
