Bioinformatics Events on July 6 - October 5, 2026, powered by Localist, the Community Event Platform

BioHPC at UTSW leverages Ollama and OnDemand ChatUI to provide a localized, high-performance environment for large language model (LLM) workloads. While Ollama serves as the backend engine for running models on compute-node resources, the OnDemand ChatUI, built on Open WebUI, offers a streamlined, self-hosted graphical interface tailored for researchers requiring rapid, disposable access to large-scale models. In this training, we will go over challenges related to the availability of powerful GPU nodes and resource-constrained environments. As model and context sizes continue to grow, limited GPU VRAM creates a bottleneck often referred to as the “memory wall,” leading to deployment and serving challenges. At BioHPC, we address this through optimization strategies at both the hardware and algorithmic levels to enable efficient serving of local LLMs: (i) NVIDIA Unified Memory (UM) architecture facilitates a hardware-abstracted safety net for memory oversubscription by offloading weight management to …

We would like to invite you to an upcoming BioHPC training session focused on Python on BioHPC. Python is one of the most widely used programming languages in scientific computing, and BioHPC offers several powerful ways to run it on our cluster. In this session we will cover how to launch Python on BioHPC nodes, manage packages and isolated environments with Conda, and work interactively through JupyterLab. We will also explore how to measure and improve script performance using profiling tools and give a brief introduction to parallel computing with multiprocessing and MPI. Whether you are new to Python on HPC systems or looking to optimize your existing workflows, this session will equip you with practical tools and techniques to get more out of BioHPC.
