An Epidemiologist is using GPUs for faster and more accurate disease forecasting. Chris Jewell, Senior Lecturer in Epidemiology at Lancaster Medical School in the UK, has been focusing his research on livestock epidemics such as foot and mouth disease, theileriosis, and avian influenza.
Recently, he has refocused his efforts into the human field where populations and epidemics tend to be larger and therefore need more computing grunt. To do so, he is taking advantage of powerful Tesla GPUs, CUDA and a handful of drop-in GPU accelerated libraries.
