What are Some Real-World Applications of HPC in Epidemiology?
HPC has been instrumental in several high-impact epidemiological studies and applications: - COVID-19 Pandemic: During the COVID-19 pandemic, HPC was used to model the spread of the virus, evaluate the effectiveness of public health interventions, and speed up vaccine development. - Genomic Epidemiology: HPC enables the analysis of whole-genome sequences of pathogens, helping to track mutations and understand transmission patterns. - Climate Change and Health: HPC is used to model the impacts of climate change on disease vectors (e.g., mosquitoes) and predict shifts in disease patterns.
