Supercomputers Help In COVID-19
Keywords:
Summit, COVID-19, Supercomputer, GPU, Molecular Docking, DrugsAbstract
The earnest quest for medications to battle COVID-19 has incorporated the utilization of supercomputers. The utilization of advancements like universally useful graphical preparing units (GPUs), huge parallelism, new programming for elite registering (HPC) has permitted investigated to look for the huge synthetic space of potential medications quicker. Another medication conveyance pipeline was created utilizing Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with the assistance of arising stages which use GPUs and permit virtual screening of potential medication compounds in no time. This exertion will speed up the way toward creating medications to battle the current COVID-19 pandemic.
