“The performance of a 512-node Anton machine is over 17,000 nanoseconds of simulated time per day for a protein-water system consisting of 23,558 atoms.[5] In comparison, MD codes running on general-purpose parallel computers with hundreds or thousands of processor cores achieve simulation rates of up to a few hundred nanoseconds per day on the same chemical system.”
17,000 ns of simulation per day sounds crazy small but I wonder how that compares to the timescale of molecular interactions. How helpful have Antons been to pharma research etc?
