Identifying the chemical constituents of coronas in supercomputers

The world's fastest supercomputer is capable of detecting chemical elements that may play a role in stopping the spread of coronavirus. Researchers see this as a step in the evolution of the coronavirus vaccine.

Coronavirus has made unique challenges for scientists and researchers. Researchers' sleep is forbidden to prevent the spread and spread of the deadly virus. Of this, the world's quickest computer is a little, but the hope is shining.


Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have published this research article in the journal 'KMRIVE'.

Summit Coronavirus, a supercomputer with IBM's 'Brain of AI', is helping. With this supercomputer, a chemical has been identified that can prevent the spread of coronavirus. Researchers think this is an important step in developing the coronavirus vaccine.

Researchers say a compound can effectively prevent the infection of container cells, with thousands of simulations being analyzed by supercomputers. Of these, three types of compounds have been identified. This will lead to another step in the way of an effective vaccine.
Coronavirus has killed more than ten thousand people. Scientists from all walks of life are working hard to bring the antidote to the deadly virus. Also, 'instruments' are being used. Humans can't carry out research at the speed at which the virus is spreading. So scientists have to take the help of the world's fastest supercomputer.

For example, the fastest supercomputer 'Summit' and 'Sierra'. The 'Summit' is in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory of America. The second supercomputer is 'Sierra' at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This computer is also in the first place and second at two speeds. Scientists say that the 'summit' can calculate 20 quadrillions (5 quadrillions, ie 1 to 5 after every second) per second. That is, 1 million times more powerful than a good laptop.

Various chemicals are under investigation to control the coronavirus. The search for a chemical that will lose power to the novel coronavirus. Different companies are working day and night to create medicines. Special help in this is 'Artificial Intelligence' or 'Artificial Intelligence' brain. Thousands of chemical analysis they are correcting in the eyes. In this way, the supercomputer identified four chemicals. Of these, research on which one may be most effective in producing vaccines is underway.

The thing is this - the virus is transmitting infection with harmful 'spike' protein. This 'spike' can help prevent any drug, which is finding the 'summit'.

Jeremy Smith, head of the Oak Ridge Laboratory, said: "The results we get are not the same as the drugs we get. But those results will help in future studies. And all those studies are effective in making vaccines. "

It was created in 24 to solve global problems. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) supercomputer built by the US Department of Energy is eight times more powerful than the Titan, America's most powerful supercomputer. The summit's maximum performance is 20 petaflops or the capacity to calculate 200,000 trillion per second.

Researchers said the summit was modeled in such a way that combinations of different drugs could prevent coronavirus from spreading to other cells.

Oak Ridge researcher Mikolas Smith says the virus infects the holding cells with a 'spike' or spike in the genetic material. The task of the summit was to find a drug compound that could bind to that spike and potentially stop the spread. A model of the coronavirus spike was created from a research data released last January. With the help of the summit, he extracted how molecules and particles of viral proteins react to different compounds. The supercomputer conducts research on 3,000 compounds. Five of these compounds make them ranking on their work.

Researchers will run simulations using a more complete model of the coronavirus spike with the help of a supercomputer. The supercomputer can now perform the initial task of identifying possible compounds using the summit. At a later time, a chemical experiment will prove that it is more effective.

Jeremy Smith, director of the University of Tennessee, said: "The results of our tests on supercomputers do not mean that we have removed coronavirus antibiotics or drugs. However, our work will pave the way for future research. Such research is essential in the production of effective drugs for coronavirus. ”Source: CNN
