Anton systems were designed and built by D. E. Shaw Research to vastly accelerate MD simulations. The third- generation Anton at PSC can perform molecular dynamics simulations on systems consisting of several millions of atoms at speeds of microseconds per day. It is available without cost for non-commercial use by biomedical researchers. Time on Anton is allocated on the basis of research proposals submitted to an independent committee convened by the National Academy of Sciences. Faculty and staff members at U.S. academic or not-for-profit research institutions, including researchers without previous experience on Anton systems, are invited to apply for an Anton allocation. The application deadline is Tuesday, October 21, 2025. To help with the application process, we will offer two webinars on Monday, September 22. See how to register for the webinars and the Request for Proposals, which includes Anton benchmarks, at: https://www.psc.edu/resources/anton
