TL;DR: The architecture of Anton 2 is tailored for fine-grained event-driven operation, which improves performance by increasing the overlap of computation with communication, and also allows a wider range of algorithms to run efficiently, enabling many new software-based optimizations.

TL;DR: Anton 3 as mentioned in this paper is the fastest supercomputers in the world, achieving an order-of-magnitude improvement in time-to-solution over its predecessor, Anton 2, and is over 100 times faster than any other currently available supercomputer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unifying on-chip and inter-node switching within the Anton 2 network
TL;DR: In order to keep the routers small and fast, a deadlock-free routing algorithm is developed that reduces the number of virtual channels by one-third relative to previous approaches and efficiently utilizes its inter-node channels and provides low messaging latency, while occupying a modest amount of silicon area.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Filtering, Reductions and Synchronization in the Anton 2 Network
TL;DR: This work uses the combination of packet filtering, in-network reductions and log-weight synchronization to decrease the communication requirements of MD simulations by as much as 51% on Anton 2, yielding application-level performance improvements of up to 14%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate Newton's laws of motion into a model of the force field, and compute forces on every atom based on current positions and velocities and positions in discrete time steps.
