Anton: A Special-Purpose Machine for Biomolecular Simulations
NC State · Lecture · 1 h 21 min · 2012 · YouTube title: Anton: A Special-Purpose Machine That Achieves a Hundred-Fold Speedup in Biomolecular Simulations
Why it's here
HN points to it as an accessible, interesting talk on molecular dynamics and simulation-based drug discovery.
What it covers
David Shaw of D. E. Shaw Research presents Anton, a special-purpose machine that speeds up biomolecular simulations about a hundred-fold. The lecture covers molecular dynamics and how simulation helps understand how drugs bind.
