I-SCALARE

Isaev Kamil, the CEO on research and development of Intel in Russia, told that the main activity of I‑SCALARE which is directed by the graduate of MIPT professor Vladimir Pentkovsky living now in the USA, – development problemno the focused computing systems for biomedicine, pharmacology and small-sized structures and also the solution of a number of relevant applied biomedical tasks. According to the employee of laboratory of the graduate student of MIPT Grigory Rechistov, the group of modeling created methodology of job evaluation of applications on projectible supercomputers of new generations which can have in 16 times more of main cores, than used for calculations. Anton Chugunov, the participant of research group under the leadership of professor Roman Efremov at Institute of bioorganic chemistry of RAS, provided results of the modeling of dynamics of molecular interaction of new perspective antibiotics which is carried out to I‑SCALARE with membranes of bacteria. Possibilities of the supercomputer allow to make within a week calculation of model for systems containing over 50 thousand atoms. In the long term – creation of a new class of the antibiotics non-toxic for the person and animals and not causing resistance to them in bacteria.

The leading researcher of Lomonosov Moscow State University Vladimir Palyulin told about modeling of interaction of viruses, dangerous to the person, with cages of an organism. The models constructed on the supercomputer allowed to find 12 perspective connections blocking penetration of viruses of tick-borne encephalitis into cells of the person. On their basis in the next decade antiencephalitic medicines will be created. One more important result – creation of the models allowing a message search of structures with neurotyre-tread activity that will allow to create medicines for treatment of such illnesses as Alzheimer's disease.

Sergey Garichev, the dean of faculty of radio engineering and cybernetics of MIPT at which the I-SCALARE laboratory is created highly appreciates results of its activity. The supercomputer is used not only for scientific computations, but also for training of students of MIPT. At a present stage loading of the supercomputer grows, and one of the main objectives of laboratory – to learn to use and define effectively it classes of tasks, worthy implementations on such cluster. Installation of the second such cluster will become the next stage, and further scaling of the supercomputer will be continued before obtaining performance about 300 Tflops.
