Anton, a special-purpose machine for molecular dynamics simulation
David E. Shaw,Martin M. Deneroff,Ron O. Dror,Jeffrey S. Kuskin,Richard H. Larson,John K. Salmon,Cliff Young,Brannon Batson,Kevin J. Bowers,Jack C. Chao,Michael P. Eastwood,Joseph Gagliardo,J. P.

TL;DR: A massively parallel machine called Anton is described, which should be capable of executing millisecond-scale classical MD simulations of such biomolecular systems and has been designed to use both novel parallel algorithms and special-purpose logic to dramatically accelerate those calculations that dominate the time required for a typical MD simulation.

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.
