Scaffold-Induced Molecular Subgraphs (SIMSG): Effective Graph Sampling Methods for High-Throughput Computational Drug Discovery

At SC20’s Computational Approaches for Cancer Workshop, Argonne and University of Chicago researchers will present a paper detailing a novel approach that can be used to efficiently navigate vast chemical libraries for promising drug candidates. By using a graph-based structure of the chemical space instead of a static library of compounds, their study demonstrates an enhanced sampling technique for ultra-high-throughput docking studies.

Accelerating the Search for New Physics Discoveries with Argonne’s Aurora Exascale Supercomputer

As part of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility’s (ALCF’s) Aurora Early Science Program, a research team led by Argonne National Laboratory physicist Jimmy Proudfoot is preparing to use the lab’s upcoming Intel-Cray exascale system to advance physics research at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The team’s “Simulating and Learning in the ATLAS Detector at the Exascale” project is developing exascale workflows, algorithms, and machine learning capabilities to accelerate the search for new physics discoveries.
