OneProt – a new AI system for an improved understanding of proteins 🧬 📝 OneProt brings many kinds of information about proteins together: their 3D structures, amino acid sequences, written descriptions, and binding site details. This allows the system to align different data types efficiently, even when they do not match perfectly. OneProt performs especially well on tasks like predicting enzyme function and analyzing protein binding sites. 💡 While OneProt leveraged the computing power of JUWELS Booster, the next generation project, OneProtGPT, is part of the Gauss AI Compute Competition and currently running on #exa_jupiter ⚡. 🤝 OneProt researchers are part of Helmholtz AI. 👀 Curious to learn more? ➡️ https://buff.ly/N6XVtX4 Gauss Centre for Supercomputing Alina Bazarova Stefan Kesselheim Holger Gohlke

📢 ICON team awarded with renowned Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling🥳 A research team from #JSC, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum | DKRZ | Universität Hamburg, CSCS and ETH Zurich, as well as NVIDIA, has won the prestigious 🏆 Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling. 🍃 The Gordon Bell Prizes are among the most important awards in the field of high-performance computing. 🚀 🌐 The winning entry was a novel approach that allows the Earth system to be simulated with unprecedented spatial accuracy. To achieve this, the team used Europe's first⚡exascale supercomputer, #JUPITER, and the Swiss supercomputer Alps. 💡At the heart of the model is an enhanced version of the ICON climate model, which couples the atmosphere, ocean, land surfaces and sea ice and, thanks to improved detail, allows key processes such as convection, heavy precipitation and ocean eddies to be represented much more realistically than before. 🌍🌊 🌧️ The researchers benefited from algorithmic innovations and the targeted use of NVIDIA's powerful GH200 hardware, which they were able to use on the JUPITER exascale computer as part of the⚡JUPITER Early Access Programme (JUREAP). The award was presented today at noon at the SC25 supercomputing conference in St. Louis.
