药学院高性能计算中心计算资源为新冠病毒相关研究免费开放

为了助力新冠病毒相关研究，加快研究过程中数据分析和模拟的速度，由Kim Baldridge教授和Peter Taylor教授领衔的天津大学药学院高性能计算中心为新冠病毒相关研究免费开放计算资源。全国从事新冠病毒研究的科研团队经过申请，均可免费使用相关计算资源。如您有这方面的科研需求，可直接联系我院Peter Taylor教授（pete@tju.edu.cn）进行对接。

天津大学药学院高性能计算中心建成于2015年，由国际知名计算学家Kim Baldridge担任主任。近年来，该中心为天津大学药学、化学等学科的发展发挥了积极的推动作用。

With a view to assisting researchers investigating the novel coronavirus, its consequences, and possible responses to it, we may provide access to SPST's supercomputer, arran, for data analysis or simulations that are part of such research and which may need more resources than are immediately available to individual research groups. Use of the machine is usually restricted to SPST researchers and incurs usage charges like all of SPST's platform resources, but we are willing to waive the charges for coronavirus research.

If you would like to apply for access to arran, please contact Professor Peter R. Taylor (pete@tju.edu.cn) with a brief outline (THIS MUST BE IN ENGLISH) of the proposed work. Be aware of the following conditions:

1）You must provide your own software, or be able to exploit software already on the system. We cannot acquire new software, and cannot install software for you.

2）You must have experience running calculations on a Linux system. We do not have the resources to provide user support and training.

3）This offer is limited to work that can be completed within the next three months.
