ABSTRACT:
Single processors are no longer increasing considerably in speed and parallelization is a given that all applications must react to in order to continue to scale up. The scientific computing facility at the Max Planck Institute for brain research provides efficient software solutions for the computational problems encountered by the institutes scientists and their external collaborators. Due to the very large data sets stemming from different experimental techniques parallelization becomes increasingly important in multidisciplinary research in Life Sciences. Using the example of our in house developed high speed recording software PylonRecorder and it's plug-in architecture for video tracking this talk will demonstrate how scientific software can outlive an individual scientific project, significantly improve code reusablity and be used in highly parallelized applications.
