How GPUs Are Helping Disrupt the Virus Life Cycle

Originally published at: How GPUs Are Helping Disrupt the Virus Life Cycle | NVIDIA Technical Blog

University of Illinois researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology’s theoretical and computational biophysics group are accelerating simulations of immature retroviruses using GPU technology on some of the world’s most powerful computers. The researchers are examining ways to prevent their spread by locking the viral particles in this non-infectious stage before they…
