Altair Grid Engine (AGE) is a workload management system that queues, schedules, and distributes data processing and analysis tasks across the National Cener of Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) High-Performance Computing cluster. It enables services like Pathogen Detection, NCBI Virus, and PubMed to support large-scale data submission and computational workflows efficiently and reliably. The ability to update content in PubMed, Pathogen Detection, and NCBI virus directly supports human health as they are used by the FDA and CDC to identify emerging health threats, issue recalls of contaminated food, and aid hospitals and clinicians in real-time treatment of critically ill patients across the country.
