Metagenomic studies are becoming increasingly widespread, yielding important insights into microbial communities covering diverse environments from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems. This also because genome sequencing is likely to become a routinely and ubiquitous analysis in a near future thanks to a new generation of portable devices, such...

In the last decade, different computing paradigms and modelling frameworks for the description and simulation of biochemical systems based on stochastic modelling have been proposed. From a computational point of view, many simulations of the model are necessary to identify the behaviour of the system. The execution of thousands of simulations...

Portable sequencing machines, such as the Oxford Nanopore MinION, are making the genome sequencing ubiquitous. Consequently, metagenomic studies are becoming increasingly popular, yielding important insights into microbial communities covering diverse environments from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, the adoption of low-power...

Portable sequencing machines, such as the Oxford Nanopore MinION, are making the genome sequencing ubiquitous. This can be particularly interesting for identifying specific bacteria in air-filters or waters and for monitoring the microbioma composition in cultivated soils or in different animal samples, using a simple and portable approach....

Energy consumption represents one of the most relevant issues by now in operating computing infrastructures, from traditional High Performance Computing Centers to Cloud Data Centers. Low power System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures, originally developed in the context of mobile and embedded technologies, are becoming attractive also for scientific...
