[Plsfaculty] Fwd: Now Open: Request for Proposals for Anton 3 due October 21

[Bucksch, Alexander - (bucksch)]

Hi all,

The opportunity below is great for those working on molecular mechanisms.
There is typically not much competition for simulation time on the Anton supercomputer.

Cheers,
Alex

[EXTERNAL SENDER - PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY]


Dear Colleague,

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) is soliciting proposals for computer time on a third-generation Anton system--Anton 3--an extremely fast special-purpose supercomputer for molecular dynamics (MD) simulation designed and constructed by D. E. Shaw Research (DESRES) and hosted at PSC.  This third-generation Anton system is 10x faster and supports 10x larger simulations than Anton 2, and is ~100 times faster for MD than the latest general-purpose supercomputers or GPU systems. Anton is made available without cost by DESRES with operational support from NIH for non-commercial research by universities and other not-for-profit institutions. Proposals are due on Monday, October 21, 2025.

We invite you to apply and/or share this opportunity with any colleagues who might benefit from access to Anton. We will be offering two webinars on September 22 to help with proposal submission.

For detailed application instructions, Anton 3 benchmarks, and details on the proposal submission webinars please see the attached PDF or go to:

https://www.psc.edu/resources/anton

We are looking forward to your proposals.

Best regards,
Philip D. Blood, PhD
