Here’s what early-adopters have to say about ACES!

Rubem Mondaini (University of Houston) uses ACES to study quantum many-body problems in Condensed Matter Physics with the goal of understanding how Coulomb repulsion between electrons can affect quantum matter topology. "ACES’ abundant supply of the latest CPUs (Sapphire Rapids), large memory and fast interconnect make it possible to reach physical system sizes unforeseen until now," said Dr. Mondaini. “This unique combination of assets makes all the difference with investigations in the quantum world,” he added.

Wonmuk Hwang (Texas A&M Department of Biomedical Engineering) performs molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules - a task best performed with state-of-the-art computational resources. Dr. Hwang uses ACES to investigate the mechanical response of T-cell receptors which defend against pathogens like influenza and the SARS CoV-2 virus that was responsible for the COVID pandemic. “The NVIDIA H100s are great for carrying out multiple simulations, and the HPRC staff are always helpful when troubleshooting aspects of this novel testbed,” he said.
