A supercomputer to compute molecule structures

Here, and more technical info here.

''
A privately financed team of scientists and engineers is nearing completion of a special-purpose supercomputer intended to offer more than a thousandfold increase in performance for complex molecular simulations.
...
Anton is massively parallel, with 512 specialized processors working simultaneously. The processors are called application-specific integrated circuits, and in this case their specialty is the calculation of the three-dimensional characteristics of molecules.

Experimentation in the use of supercomputers to model molecular interactions has been going on for more than a decade, but the field is still largely in its infancy. Simulations of processes like the folding of proteins into three-dimensional structures or the interactions between proteins or between a protein and a drug molecule hold out the promise of advancing science and drug development.
