AMAX Partners with NVIDIA and Launches Bio Workbench Program to Advance Bioscience Research!
FREMONT, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Jan 14, 2010 AMAX, North America’s leader in High Performance Computing, is partnering with NVIDIA to launch the Tesla™ Bio Workbench program to enable bio-physicists and computational chemists to push the boundaries of life science research. With this program, a standard workstation, becomes a personal super computer and a “computational laboratory” that is capable of running complex bio-science codes.

The Bio Workbench is ideal for expediting research in fields such as drug discovery and DNA sequencing.

The Tesla Bio Workbench:

* 10+ Life Sciences Applications available on CUDA
* A community portal which includes: website, technical papers, discussion forums, benchmarks, developer tools
* Applications can be deployed on AMAX’s GPU-based desktop personal supercomputers or on rack mount data center HPC solutions
* Designed to accelerate the pace of computational science

“As a strong NVIDIA partner, AMAX will be participating in the Bio Workbench program to cater specifically to the needs of our Biotechnology customers,” says Bohr-Young Tsao, Product Manager at AMAX. “NVIDIA has worked hard to create a community to support this market segment, and AMAX is proud to contribute our expertise in GPU computing to advance groundbreaking research in the Biosciences.”
