The U.S. is making 16 supercomputers available to researchers worldwide to help identify therapies and vaccines related to the coronavirus. Supercomputers can process vast datasets and conduct complex simulations of molecules’ behavior much faster than other hardware, so the hope is this will help turbocharge efforts to combat the virus.
Members of the consortium include several U.S. Department of Energy national labs, including Lawrence Livermore, Sandia and Oak Ridge, which is the home of Summit. The consortium also includes MIT and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, as well as NASA and the National Science Foundation. Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft are also part of the consortium and are offering their cloud-based services to accelerate research work.via a website
. These will be reviewed by experts in high-performance computing, biology and other areas, who will select the most promising ones. IBM, which has helped build a number of the supercomputers involved, is coordinating the consortium’s work. “America is coming together to fight COVID-19, and that means unleashing the full capacity of our world-class supercomputers to rapidly advance scientific research for treatments and a vaccine,” said Michael Kratsios, the U.S.’s chief technology officer, in a statement announcing the consortium’s creation.: 330 petaflops. That’s the combined processing power of the 16 supercomputers and it means they are collectively capable of performing 330 million billion calculations a second.
Too bad we didn’t do this in January of 2020.
Is there enough data to even need this?
Computers can’t solve everything.
Let the Matrix begins
Will these supercomputers turn against us?
That’s good news
Superb.
This is good news the computer can run millions of test on the life cycle and clinical analysis of the treatments instead of waiting a year this will be to late for a lot of folks lets get it down. Good job Forbes for be responsible reporting
