AI Promises to Speed Drug Deployment

Check out the latest applications and advances GPUs have made HERE

Alzheimer’s. Cancer. Parkinson’s. These devastating diseases are just a few of the hundreds that scientists are struggling to cure with new medicines in the face of soaring drug-discovery costs and testing times.

Now, artificial intelligence is showing the potential to be a faster, more efficient way to find and develop new drugs. A growing number of companies and university researchers are tackling some of medicine’s toughest problems by using AI computing to predict which drug molecules are most likely to be effective treatments.

UMass Rolls Out New GPU Cluster for Deep LearningUMass rolled out its new GPU cluster – Gypsum – aimed at deep learning. Like many institutions, UMass is seeking to attract Ph.D. students drawn to deep learning and artificial intelligence. At 400 GPUs, Gypsum is on the large side for academic GPU clusters according the university.

The new systems will be housed at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke, Mass., and is the result of a five-year, $5 million grant to the campus from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative made last year.
