ORNL Enlists #1 Summit Supercomputer to Combat Coronavirus

Researchers at ORNL used the Summit supercomputer to identify 77 small-molecule drug compounds that might warrant further study in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which is responsible for the COVID-19 disease outbreak. "The two researchers performed simulations on Summit of more than 8,000 compounds to screen for those that are most likely to bind to the main "spike" protein of the coronavirus, rendering it unable to infect host cells."
