Çırakoğlu HPC

Powering Genomic Research at Acıbadem University 

Çırakoğlu-HPC is a high-performance computing cluster established to accelerate human genetics research at Acibadem University. Named in honor of Prof. Dr. Beyazıt Çırakoğlu, this infrastructure was created to support the computational demands of large-scale genomic data analysis and facilitate the research efforts of the Acıbadem Biobank.

With the rapid growth of genomic and biomedical data, conventional computing resources often struggle to process increasingly complex datasets efficiently. Çırakoğlu-HPC was developed as a dedicated high-performance computing infrastructure for the Department of Medical Genetics, providing the computational power, advanced analytical capabilities, and scalable storage required for modern genomic research.

The system supports data-intensive applications in areas such as next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, precision medicine, and translational genetics. Established through the efforts of researchers and faculty members within the department, with the support of the Acıbadem University administration, Çırakoğlu-HPC strengthens the department’s capacity to conduct advanced genetic analyses and accelerate discoveries in genomic medicine.

The system is currently managed by the Administrative Team of Alper Bülbül, Eyüp Alper Saygılı, and Eyüp Tarık Engin, who oversee its operation and optimization to ensure maximum computational efficiency for desired research projects. If any performance issues encountered please reach out to Administrative Team.
