Powerful computers to find out the properties of coronavirus

The largest number of COVID-19 supercomputing projects involves designing drugs. It’s likely to take several effective drugs to treat the disease. Supercomputers allow researchers to take a rational approach and aim to selectively muzzle proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, needs for its life cycle. The worlds famous labs are using a supercomputer to discover drugs. NASA is flexing its supercomputing muscle to help crack some of the most pressing questions surrounding COVID-19, from basic science on how the virus interacts with cells in the human body to genetic risk factors to screening for potential therapeutic drugs.

Supercomputers are suited for processing large amounts of data. As HPC enters the mainstream, IT professionals are learning more about the once arcane systems, including the value of tuning and optimization. For companies to get started with supercomputing, a good approach is to seek out scientific computer centers that are doing work that is like what they have in mind. A report says, the profile of HPC systems in the mainstream is steadily increasing. New interest in supercomputers is being spurred by capabilities brought to light in the race to find a cure for COVID-19. Medicine, finance, logistics, and beyond will benefit. A report says, because of the biological similarities between SARS and the novel coronavirus, “Once the algorithm is trained with the SARS data, it’s relatively easy to tweak the algorithm with very small modifications to see if the molecules would work against COVID.

Supercomputers are enabling a vastly accelerated pace by which scientists can conduct research and collect and analyze data. Never have they proven their value to society more than during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Supercomputers play an important role in the field of computational science, and are used for a wide range of computationally intensive tasks in various fields, including quantum mechanics, weather forecasting, climate research, oil and gas exploration, molecular modeling and many more things to be listed. With the race to build the world’s most powerful computer ,there are many corporates including IBM,HP,CRAY,DELL, SGI and Lenovo are supplying the super machines of today. In short, leveraging the power of supercomputing it could solve today's and tomorrow's challenges.

Today, supercomputing is more and more synonymous with AI. At various level supercomputers are bringing solutions after deep learning and mix reality. Supercomputers allows organizations to solve problems that would be impossible with regular computers and to better assess associated revenue streams and there is absolutely no deny that, Supercomputers so important for COVID-19 research. At the same time, a question arises on rising cyber security, why supercomputers are not able to solve the problem of massive increase in disinformation campaigns around supposed government initiatives relating to the pandemic are the main driver behind the increase. An example of the scams sent to users with the false information that the government had suspended payments for energy bills during the pandemic, which included a link inviting users to register for the benefit.
