IBM employees in Rochester helping fight COVID-19

The Supercomputer is working to find a cure for the coronavirus

Technology can be used to achieve significant milestones... and ??m is hoping that stands true when it comes to fighting the coronavirus.

Two men who work at ??m's rochester campus played a role in designing?

Building and delivering the supercompute r that scientists are using to find a cure for covi?

Kimt news 3's isabella basco is bringing us the story of innovation.

Live computers not only make life easier... they can change and save lives too.

??m's summit super computer is working on doing just that.

Here's how it works.

The summit supercompute r can replicate thousands of compounds in a matter of days to model the infection process of coronavirus.

Then?

It simulates how various drugs would interact with the virus and could determine the types of drugs that might help fight it.

There are a million posisbilities for how we can treat coronavirus... but this computer has already narrowed it down to 77.

Xxx "this computer is uniquely suited to helping find the cure, like andy said, it's really designed to doing mat?

Intensive calculations."

<"i'm very hopeful we may be able to do things this year that ten years ago were not possible.

So i think there's great hope."

This supercompute r runs 150 times faster than earlier ibm supercompute rs.

Live in rochester?

Isabella basco?

Thanks isabella.

Ten years ago... the fastest computer ago in the world was also built at ibm rochester was called road runner.

As the nation battles the coronavirus pandemic?

Each state is handling things a little differently.
