The Dell Technologies Validated Design (DTVD) for Genomics is a tested solution that leverages Dell PowerEdge XE8545 with NVIDIA A100 GPUs. It also leverages the NVIDIA Clara Parabricks application framework. The design uses Dell PowerSwitch networking, and Dell BeeGFS storage. It combines the IT resources that are required for various forms of genomic data analysis in a compact, scalable solution.

The DTVD for Genomics with NVIDIA Clara Parabricks uses a flexible and modular approach to High Performance Computing (HPC) system design that leverages individual building blocks. These integrated solutions, which are tested and tuned, include the resources that are required for next-generation sequencing (NGS) secondary analysis. These solutions also provide an optimal balance of compute density, energy efficiency, and performance. These solutions can process up to 40 30x human genomes per day using all four GPUs.

The design is a modular, scale-out solution for accelerating genomic data analysis with NVIDIA Clara Parabricks. It offers an industry-leading, GPU-accelerated computational genomics application framework. This document provides details of the solution architecture and performance testing results for next-generation sequencing (NGS).
