CCL: NOW OPEN: RFP for Anton 3, a specialized MD supercomputer



 Sent to CCL by: "Marcela  Madrid" [anton-support[]psc.edu]
 The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is requesting proposals to compute on
 Anton 3, a
 specialized supercomputer for Molecular Dynamics simulations of biological
 systems. 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:
