The government and tech companies including IBM and Google are teaming up to give free access to at least 16 supercomputers to promising researchers
By Sara Castellanos March 22, 2020 6:12 pm ET The U.S. government, International Business Machines Corp. and others are giving researchers world-wide access to at least 16 supercomputers to help speed the discovery of vaccines and drugs to combat the novel coronavirus.
The goal is to grant researchers access to powerful computing resources days after they submit their projects. The machines to which researchers will have free, remote access include two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers from IBM: Summit, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Lassen, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Researchers at the Energy Department’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee recently used the IBM Summit supercomputer to run simulations on more than 8,000 compounds and identified 77 small molecules that could be used to accelerate the discovery of new therapies and vaccines for the coronavirus, said Paul Dabbar, undersecretary for science at the department.
