linkTitle: Bigslice - A cluster computing system in Go description: At GRAIL, we use the Go programming language for most of our bioinformatics, data processing, and machine learning tasks. Go’s simplicity makes it easy for newcomers to learn; its transparent runtime semantics makes it easy to reason about performance; and its ability to control data layout and allocation makes it possible to write highly performant data processing code. company: GRAIL logoSrc: grail_light.png logoSrcDark: grail_dark.png series: Case Studies link: https://medium.com/grail-eng/bigslice-a-cluster-computing-system-for-go-7e03acd2419b inLandingPageGrid: false
