You could make an argument that the history of civilization and technological advancement is the history of the search and discovery of materials. Ages are named not for leaders or civilizations but for the materials that defined them: Stone Age, Bronze Age, and so on. The current digital or information age could be renamed the Silicon or Semiconductor Age and retain the same meaning.
]]>Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could create beautiful and immersive scientific visualizations of large and dynamic simulations like Folding@Home’s simulation of COVID-19 spikes? In this post, we share our recipe to show that you can use NVIDIA Omniverse to create powerful cinematic visualizations from scientific data. The beginning of any such project starts with trajectory data.
]]>NAMD, a widely used parallel molecular dynamics simulation engine, was one of the first CUDA-accelerated applications. Throughout the early evolution of CUDA support in NAMD, NVIDIA GPUs and CUDA grew tremendously in both performance and capabilities. For more information, see Accelerating Molecular Modeling Applications with Graphics Processors and Adapting a Message-driven Parallel Application…
