HIV virus structure cracked using GPU-based simulations
2013-05-30 22:00:29| Extremetech
A new paper published this week in the journal Nature describes how researchers pieced together the entire molecular structure of the protein shell of the HIV virus using GPU-based simulations. This remarkable achievement not only paves the way for new therapeutic approaches to AIDs, but establishes GPUs as franchise players in the molecular dynamics simulation game.

We recruit and hire excellent engineers, and encourage innovation, technical excellence and continuing education. Our engineers regularly present papers at technical conferences, continue their education more than 85 have a masters degree, and we reinvest more than 12 of budget in IRD projects. This striving for excellence, innovation and flexibility is a major part of our culture. We provide very competitive compensation, attractive benefits, and a great work environment with lots of opportunities for professional growth. JOB DESCRIPTION Simulations Officers are responsible for developing the training concept and the associated Simulation Plan to train the Mission Control Team, in order to prepare them for the launch or other critical phases of an ESA mission. This includes planning and developing failure cases of increasing difficulty to be introduced into the simulations, in order to train the Mission Control Team in nonnominal operations and application of mission rules. Simulations Officers are also planned to be involved with the operational training of other staff, including but not limited to Ground Operations Managers and ESTRACK Control Centre ECC operators. The Simulations Officer role requires familiarisation with both the space and ground segment. Simulations Officers are also involved with general training and simulation activities at ESOC. For a particular mission, the Prime Simulations Officer is responsible for the delivery of training to the Mission Control Team, supported by a Deputy Simulations Officer. The Deputy Simulations Officer is responsible for supporting the prime Simulations Officer in the delivery of training. This includes assistance with simulator breakpoint preparation, testing of contigencies, writing briefing and debriefing messages, and running simulations. The allocation of simulations officers to missions and ground facilities training is decided by HSOONX in consultation with the relevant GSMs and SOMs. For this position the following allocation is anticipated Deputy Simulations Officer for the SWARM mission Qualifications Applicants should have a University or similar degree in engineering or physics or similar discipline. Required knowledge Applicants should have good professional experience in spacecraft andor operational applications, preferably also in the area of training.
