SNIC-KTH helping fight COVID-19 via HPC

The Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology are participating in the efforts of researchers in the worldwide struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, SNIC-KTH is providing access to their supercomputing resources at PDC for activities that support this important research work. SNIC-KTH is also a member of the COVID-19 High Performance Computing (HPC) Consortium ( covid19-hpc-consortium.org/who-we-are ).

SNIC-KTH and the BioExcel Centre of Excellence have launched a series of activities together to support research on the SARS-CoV-2 virus to assist with the global fight against COVID-19 ( covid.bioexcel.eu ). EuroNews published a video/article about how BioExcel is supporting work using supercomputers to help find a treatment for the COVID-19 virus .
