Challenge
A life sciences company was operating a platform built on ARM architecture with EC2 Spot Instances to reduce the compute costs and improve the application output. Quantori’s challenge was to rapidly develop HPC (High-Performance Computing) compute environments using AWS ParallelCluster, an open-source cluster management tool.
Solution
Quantori implemented a breakthrough HPC infrastructure accelerator for macromolecular docking of tertiary and quaternary proteins, which enabled scientists to work exclusively within their research environments with AWS ParrallelCluster, Jupyter Notebooks, complators and docking tools including AutoDock, Smina, and QVina. This powerful platform can scale from small runs with a few thousand ligands, up to millions without reconfiguration.
Outcome
The life sciences company gained a cost-effective and highly performant system for running docking computations.
