Faster Breakthroughs
As recently as a few years ago, scientists who wanted to undertake the most-demanding calculations in physics, engineering, and chemistry booked time on university or national supercomputers or assembled a machine themselves. Now cloud computing services such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are making high-performance arrays of CPUs, graphics processors, and network connections available to researchers, letting scientists in areas such as gravitational wave research, immunology, and drug development access machines faster than they could by using shared computers.
As we detail in this week’s lead story, less time between running experiments and seeing results lets scientists change parameters quickly on their way to medical breakthroughs.
