Milan, 09 June 2025 – Lenovo will present the IEO Monzino Group with a excessive efficiency computing system to speed up scientific analysis in oncology and cardiology on the European Institute of Oncology and the Monzino Cardiology Middle.
Lenovo will ship the IEO Monzino Group with a 475 TFlops HPC system, consisting of Lenovo ThinkSystem SR645 V3 and ThinkSystem SR685a V3 servers, powered by NVIDIA H200 GPUs, the primary GPUs to supply 141 gigabytes (GB) of HBM3e reminiscence at 4.8 terabytes per second (TB/s). The infrastructure is supported by a Lenovo ThinkSystem DE6400F storage system for superior information administration.
The supercomputer will assist the research of bioinformaticians and researchers working for the Group with the goal of making predictive, prognostic or diagnostic computational fashions based mostly on the interactions of protein constructions. These fashions will likely be derived from superior molecular simulations due to the adoption of AI algorithms and the scientific information obtainable within the Medical DataLakes of the 2 Institutes.
Synthetic intelligence makes it potential to course of massive quantities of information, influencing the assorted levels of the event path and the supply of latest therapeutic options to sufferers along with efficient preventive instruments. The quantity of information obtainable and made suitable by AI is making it potential to speed up the method of choosing molecules which can be subsequently studied in additional depth within the improvement of scientific trials. It’s because it’s potential to make the identification of potential molecular candidates and interplay mechanisms a lot sooner and extra environment friendly. Because of AI and the power to course of massive quantities of information, the Group’s specialists can now consider more and more custom-made options.
To deal with these points, the IEO Monzino Group researchers have developed AI algorithm software program platforms to facilitate entry to superior bioinformatics instruments that require excessive efficiency and computing energy. This led to the collaboration with Lenovo, which designed an HPC infrastructure for the IEO Monzino Group that features machine studying fashions to extract scientific, molecular and multi-omics
data.
“For years, the Group has adopted the “data-driven” technique for analysis, care and governance of the institutes,” commented Annarosa Farina, Engineer, Chief Data Supervisor and Chief Information Officer IEO Group. Our research, from fundamental analysis to superior scientific analysis, are based mostly on large information. Lenovo’s HPC infrastructure accelerates and streamlines information processing and is crucial to implementing our technique. The multidisciplinary method is essential for our analysis work: the workload parameters and the AI algorithms to be adopted are outlined with the contribution of researchers, medical doctors, bioinformaticians and information scientists, who all collectively collaborate within the extraction of the “insights” of those gildings, with completely different and complementary expertise. Moreover, I need to specific our appreciation for the consultancy service provided by Lenovo within the design part, which enormously contributed to the success of the challenge.”
“We’re extraordinarily proud to make our techniques obtainable to the IEO Monzino Group to speed up scientific analysis. Because of the power of our options to handle large quantities of information and speed up evaluation, Lenovo’s Excessive Efficiency Computing will contribute to advances in personalised drugs,” commented Alessandro de Bartolo, Basic Supervisor, Italy, Infrastructure Options Group, Lenovo. The applying of AI on this space is a virtuous instance of the way it can have a constructive affect on our society, bettering the accuracy of diagnoses and therapies, and resulting in higher effectivity in healthcare actions. Right now Lenovo supercomputers are on the heart of scientific analysis, in essentially the most prestigious Italian and world facilities.”
The challenge was carried out with the companion Lenovo HPCNow! and Lenovo Skilled Providers, which supplied technical and organizational greatest practices, implementing open supply software program options to enhance entry to {hardware} and optimize the analysis heart’s operational actions.
