... available to the non-commercial research community, based on the advice of previous National Research Council committees. As in those prior rounds, the goal of the tenth RFP for simulation time on Anton 2 is to continue to facilitate breakthrough research in the study of biomolecular systems by providing a massively parallel system specially designed for molecular dynamics simulations.
From page 3...
... The judgments of the committee are based on which proposals best met the selection criteria described above and on the estimates of required simulation time provided by the applicants. The committee was permitted to consider a modified time allocation if it concluded that the proposed research required a greater or smaller number of node-hours than initially requested by an applicant, up to the 460,000 MDUs maximum.

... infer detailed molecular properties, such as the in vivo DNA mechanics, from the cellular physiology. By developing novel methodologies that consider multiple spatial and temporal scales and multiple levels of biological organization, including atomic, molecular, and cellular, the lab's work has provided new avenues to integrate the molecular properties of cellular components directly into the dynamics of cellular networks.
