I think the lesson here is that most of the big data genomic, metabolic, pharmacologic and other research will all be driven by deep learning. The models themselves however require 100+ gpus so we are sort of back in that phase where you need large compute systems to even compete. A single lab will have issues unless they can leverage a cloud and then also get grant funding to spend that money on the cloud compute... which may be difficult b/c its basically a consumable now and you don't have any hardware leftover.
