Virtualization – Matryoshka dolls of computing.
A few weeks back I talked about various open operating systems to efficiently run some of the deep learning and simulation models. I switched back and forth between six different flavors of linux to finally settle with one. This experimentation phase is helpful in the long-run. But, for folks who want to run one particular… Continue reading Virtualization – Matryoshka dolls of computing.
Democracy and science – What South Sudan teaches us?
I had an incredible opportunity to participate in a Doctors without borders (MSF) initiative to fill-in missing geographic information data into satellite images. This is an incredibly important process to figure out a huge number of operational details for aid agencies and non-profit organizations like MSF. This includes resource allocation, rapid disaster relief, quick response… Continue reading Democracy and science – What South Sudan teaches us?
Linux distros – The art of selecting one.
I have decided to migrate all of the programming environments to linux . The reason is simplicity of linux to run Python and R. I am often befuddled by common dependency issues, which linux seems to have avoided. This is especially true for Python. An added advantage is the ability to run very sophisticated deep learning… Continue reading Linux distros – The art of selecting one.
What is next – The future of research.
Every year, from 2010 onward, Redmonk publishes a bi-annual comparison of the popularity of programming languages relative to one another using data from GitHub and Stack Overflow. One list is compiled for the summer and another one for the spring. Among top 15 programming languages in the spring 2016 list, only one exclusively scientific and statistical programming language is… Continue reading What is next – The future of research.
Writing better code – Parallelize
Today, I am going to share a secret recipe for writing beautiful and efficient code that I learned, while creating simulation models for nanoveda. Nanoveda is using advanced nanoscale simulations to design next generation cancer therapeutics. The secret recipe is: parallelizing code. Most modern PCs have a multicore processor inside it. We seldom code to exploit all… Continue reading Writing better code – Parallelize
Innovation at its core – Making nanoscience accessible.
In this blog post, I will detail two key philosophies that are behind nanoveda. LEAP philosophy: Most important guiding philosophy of nanoveda is very simple: bringing nano-science to masses. The first product we are developing is to address one of the toughest challenges known to human-kind: controlling and curing cancer. Achieving this goal is a step-wise process. My four steps… Continue reading Innovation at its core – Making nanoscience accessible.
Advancing cancer cure – Nanøveda.
About Nanøveda I am a co-founder of cancer therapeutics startup: nanøveda. The name nanøveda is a neologism by combining three seed words: nano, eir (the goddess and valkyrie of healing in Norse mythology) and veda (sanskrit for knowledge). We are an early stage start-up developing advanced cancer treatments. The technology we are developing combines our expertise… Continue reading Advancing cancer cure – Nanøveda.
