Décrypthon – sharing data processing capacity to speed up research
In 2004 the AFM, IBM and the CNRS decided to launch an ambitious new project – the setting up of a grid computing platform available for three years to several scientific programmes.
This platform for calculation shared between shared between computers should speed up the development of the knowledge base in biology and in particular that of neuromuscular diseases.
The call for proposals is open to all research programmes in biology on the understanding that it will necessitate a substantial data processing capacity with a reasonable and justified proportion of calculation and data sharing, and that it presents a long-term large-scale application. The research programmes should concern the development of the knowledge base directly or indirectly linked to neuromuscular diseases, such as for example complexity in biology, proteomics or genomics.
