An expert panel of top scientists and computing researchers will work with proposers to quickly assess the projects that will have the most immediate impact and the powerful computing assets will be allocated to them.<\/p>\n<p>The sophisticated computing systems available through the consortium can process massive numbers of calculations related to bioinformatics, epidemiology, and molecular modeling, accurately simulating how a virus will behave, and what vulnerabilities it may possess.<\/p>\n<p>This can help scientists better understand complex questions about COVID-19 in hours or days as opposed to the weeks or months it would take on less powerful computers or by hand.<\/p>\n<p>In total, 16 supercomputers will be used, offering 775,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnisci.com\/technical-glossary\/cpu-vs-gpu\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CPU<\/a> (central processing unit) cores, which read and execute program instructions, and 34,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnisci.com\/technical-glossary\/cpu-vs-gpu\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GPUs<\/a> (graphics processing unit), which work with the CPU to accelerate calculations involving massive amounts of data.<\/p>\n<p>The supercomputers will also provide more than <a href=\"https:\/\/searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com\/definition\/floating-point-unit-FPU\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ninebyninedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/download.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Epoch Times<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House on March 23 announced the launch of the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consorti..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":142920,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
