High-performance machines come in handy as scientists race against time to find solutions With the world desperately looking for a vaccine or drug that can put a halt to the covid-19 pandemic, the need to crunch more numbers and run tougher simulations has increased.
While studies are using conventional and time-consuming methods such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study the structure of virus proteins, there is a growing shift to using computer simulations.
However, carrying out these simulations need a lot of compute power, way beyond the realm of an ordinary computer. That is where supercomputers such as IBM’s Summit can accelerate research by providing a million times more computing power than a
