Aether: Leveraging Linear Programming For Optimal Cloud Computing In Genomics.

Motivation Across biology we are seeing rapid developments in scale of data production without a corresponding increase in data analysis capabilities. Results Here, we present Aether (http://aether.kosticlab.org), an intuitive, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and scalable framework that uses linear programming (LP) to optimally bid on and deploy combinations of underutilized cloud computing resources. Our approach simultaneously minimizes the cost of data analysis and provides an easy transition from users' existing HPC pipelines.
