Cerebras Systems, in collaboration with U.S. national laboratories, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, reaching 1.1 million simulation steps per second—748 times faster than the world’s top supercomputer, “Frontier,” and 20% faster than Anton 3 while consuming only 7% of its power. This achievement, made possible by the Cerebras Wafer Scale Engine, allows scientists to conduct simulations that previously took years in just a single day. The strong scaling performance of Cerebras accelerates simulations across long timescales, enabling studies into material evolution, protein folding, and catalytic processes at millisecond durations—1,000 times further than traditional methods. This advancement paves the way for breakthroughs in material science, drug discovery, and renewable energy, showcasing the transformative potential of Cerebras’ AI-driven systems in accelerating scientific research and innovation.

In general, if you enjoy reading this kind of scientific news articles, I am always keen to connect with fellow researchers in materials science, including the possibility to discuss about any potential interest in the Materials Square cloud-based online platform ( www.matsq.com ), designed for streamlining the execution of materials and molecular modelling simulations!
The Materials Square platform in fact provides extensive web-based functionalities for computational chemistry/materials research and training/education purposes, as detailed also in the following PDF brochure: https://www.materialssquare.com/wp-content/uploads/Materials_Square_Brochure_2022-compressed_1674181754.pdf
Many thanks for your interest and consideration,
