University of Illinois scientists used two GPU-accelerated supercomputers to simulate the behavior of 64 million atoms to capture 1.2 microseconds of the life of an HIV capsid. The simulation offers new insights into how the virus senses its environment and completes its infective cycle. “We are learning the details of the HIV capsid system, not…
