Workflow

The drug discovery platform combines AI, data analytics, simulation, and visualization to support cross-disciplinary workflows in drug design and development.


Validating the leading application solution for drug discovery in High Performance Computing (HPC) systems up to the Exascale level, the ground-breaking objectives of the project can be summarized as follows:

1
Develop a portable and tunable drug discovery platform ready for Exascale HPC systems to respond promptly to worldwide pandemic crises.
2
Validate the CADD solution on a novel problem of social interest.
3
Validate the technologies introduced in the CADD solution.

From searching a seemingly endless molecule database to simulating how these molecules interact with the human body’s complex biochemistry, Dompé Farmaceutici SpA, together with 10 outstanding European partners, aims to further power the Exscalate platform to improve analysis, efficiency, scalability and portability in a unique leading solution.


Besides the porting of LiGen to accelerators, the project will deliver an integrated solution including LiGen, Gromacs and HyperLoom, a new AI engine together with improved management techniques of the large data sets.

The purpose of the solution is the automation of the drug design process, which is now performed with an intense human effort being required through the different phases of the process, from the preparation of input parameters, the management of data sets with billions of molecules and interaction with the queue manager to handle jobs, to the optimization of the scoring function parameters and thresholds.
