high-performance computing

The University of Pittsburgh’s recent, significant expansion of its high-performance computing capabilities, courtesy of a gift from Dell Technologies, indicates a strategic commitment to using large-scale data analysis for faster translational research. The additional 9.672 gigaFLOPS of computational power – translating to nearly 9.7 trillion additional computations per second – could help Pitt’s Innovation Hub…

Chipmaker NVIDIA and cloud behemoth AWS have been partnering for years, and now the two companies are announcing that NVIDIA’s drug discovery generative AI platform, BioNeMo, is now available on AWS. Additionally, plans are underway for BioNeMo to be offered on AWS on NVIDIA DGX Cloud. The alliance was announced at the AWS re:Invent event.…

The word “revolutionize” gets thrown around a lot in describing the potential of emerging technologies. But quantum computing could make good on the promise to disrupt healthcare applications ranging from drug discovery to medical imaging. Theoretically, a quantum computer with 300 quantum bits (qubits) could crunch more calculations in an instant than there are atoms…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of quantum computing, Microsoft is pushing the boundaries with its Azure Quantum platform. As Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently announced, “Our goal is to compress the next 250 years of chemistry and material science progress into the next 25,” Nadella said. The executive also noted that, thanks to recent advances…

Over the past two decades, high-performance computing (HPC) has become widely used throughout drug discovery and development. Significant advances in HPC processing power in the early 2000s made it viable for tasks like reverse-engineering models of human disease progression and drug response or processing vast amounts of data from sources like the Human Genome Project.…
