Life sciences in general and brain research in particular are research areas with an increasing demand for high performance computing (HPC) resources. Some research goals, like the modeling of the human brain, are expected to require exascale computers. The applications from these areas often have significant different requirements then traditional HPC applications, as they tend to be unstructured and ask for data-driven approaches. In this talk we introduce a few applications from brain research, discuss their requirements and consider solutions to meet these requirements. Looking into the future we will describe the Human Brain Project, a new European flagship project for future and emerging technologies. |
