Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is soliciting the next round of proposals for computer time on Anton 2, a special-purpose supercomputer for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation designed by D. E. Shaw Research (DESRES). Anton 2 enables biomolecular simulations running nearly 100 times faster than the state of the art on traditional supercomputers. Anton 2 is made available without cost by DESRES and supported by NIH for non-commercial research use by universities and other not-for-profit institutions. Proposals are due on Thursday June 29, 2023.
