The use of super computers and parallel
processing techniques for solving complex
computational problems
1. Fundamental Concepts

"I think the next century will be
the century of complexity"

What is Complexity?

It consists of a large number of diverse components
engaged in unpredictable interaction (Variety and
Uncertainty)

Its global behaviour emerges from the interaction of
local behaviours of its components (Emergence)

It self-organises to accommodate unpredictable
external or internal events and therefore its global
behaviour is “far from equilibrium” or “at the edge of
chaos” (Adaptability and Resilience)

It co-evolves with its environment (Irreversibility)

Dramatic Change!
Biology has changed
dramatically and highthroughput experimental
methods such as produce
masses of data.
Superlinear Grow &
Challenging Problems

The bioinformatics
databases grow
superlinearly!

The masses of data
led to numerous
challenging
bioinformatics
problems &
solutions

Big Data Analysis & Optimism
Tens of thousands of ESTs (Expressed
Sequence Tags) available for study
Most methods to study message
distributions are low throughput AND
time consuming
“Genomics” necessitates the large scale
study of gene expression
Optimism: Biology is finite…
~30,000 human genes; ~1000 protein superfamilies
…but computers speeds keep increasing => HPC

Why Integration is needed?
Genotype: genetic constitution of an
individual organism
 Phenotype: expressed physical traits of
an individual organism.
 Geographical indication (GI): specific
characters (signature) of an individual
organism that correspond to a specific
geographical location or origin.

CONCLUDING REMARKS (1)


The role of bio-informatics & HPC is
becoming very crucial and strategic to the
realization and advancement of precision
agriculture (PA).
intergrating and interelating the knowledge
of genotype, phenotype and GI will be very
useful for formulating and establishing better
paradigms, solutions and tools for better &
smarter agricultural system particularly in
Indonesia

CONCLUDING REMARKS (2)
Collaborative & interdisciplinary research
can be extended coherently towards
better & competitive agriculture
production
through PA & bioinformatics
CONCLUDING REMARKS
 There have been many applications of
bioinformatics for agriculture, partcularly
food production but there are more
challenging research & applications due to
biosystem diversity & complexity

CONCLUDING REMARKS (3)
The applications of bioinformatics heavily
rely on the advancement of HPC (High
Performance Computing Technology) &
that of superintelligent computations.
 The development & use of bio-derived
computational algorithms will be more
aggresive due to nature of bio-systems.
