Explore the implementation of High-Performance Computing (HPC) facilities designed specifically for DNA-based data storage systems in this 27-minute conference presentation. Discover how massive computational requirements in DNA data storage pre- and post-processing steps necessitate specialized computing solutions beyond standard workstations. Learn about the challenges of designing cost-effective and energy-efficient computing systems to handle the inherent noisy behavior of DNA storage mediums and the complex error correction engines required. Examine the heterogeneous acceleration computing paradigm that leverages Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and Computational Storage devices (CSDs) to target specific steps in the DNA storage pipeline. Understand how these specialized programmable and runtime reconfigurable engines can significantly reduce analysis time while addressing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) considerations. Review a rack-format proof-of-concept demonstration that showcases the potential for future DNA-storage-ready data centers, presented by researchers from Avaneidi at the 2025 Storage and Computing with DNA Conference.
