Shaw Research (DESRES) that  allows for dramatically increased molecular dynamics simulations compared to  other currently available resources. During the past 2 years, DESRES has made  available to the non-commercial research community node-hours on an Anton  system housed at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), based on the  advice of previous National Research Council committees convened in the falls  of 2010 and 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The success of the program has left DESRES to make the Anton  machine housed at the PSC available for an additional 3.7 million node-hours during  the 9 months following October 2012. DESRES has asked the National Research  Council (NRC) to once again facilitate the allocation of time to the  non-commercial research community. To undertake this task, the NRC convened a  committee of experts to evaluate the proposals submitted in response to the  aforementioned RFP. The committee members were selected for their expertise in  molecular dynamics simulations, as well as their experience in the subject  areas represented in the 52 proposals that were considered by the committee.  They comprised a cross-section of the biomolecular dynamics field in academia,  industry, and government, including an array of both senior and junior  investigators.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the third RFP for Biomolecular Simulation Time  on Anton has been to continue to facilitate breakthrough research in the study  of biomolecular systems by providing a massively parallel system specially  designed for molecular dynamics simulations. These special capabilities allow  multi-microsecond to millisecond simulation timescales, which previously had  been unobtainable. The program seeks to continue to support research that  addresses important and high-impact questions demonstrating a clear need for  Anton&#8217;s special capabilities.<em>Report of the Committee on Proposal Evaluation for Allocation of  Supercomputing Time for the Study of Molecular Dynamics: Third Round<\/em> is a summary of the proposals, research, and criteria set forth in  the RFP for Biomolecular Simulation Time on Anton.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nap.edu\/catalog.php?record_id=14671\">Read the full report<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics:<\/strong> <a href='http:\/\/www.nap.edu\/topics.php?id=278'><\/a> | <a href='http:\/\/www.nap.edu\/topics.php?id=279'><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/nap\/new\/~4\/vnbSaelqKaI\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Final Book Now Available The committee evaluated submissions received in response to a request for proposals (RFP) for Biomolecular Simulation Time on Anton, a supercomputer specially designed and built by D.E.
