SIAM CSE21 (VIRTUAL) - Minisymposium on HPC Response to the COVID19 Pandemic

Overview

Abstract

This minisymposium brings together experts in numerical simulation that have developed HPC software tools toward a better understanding coronavirus and the global COVID19 pandemic. Their recent results highlight the importance of computational science as a guiding tool that helps in uncovering the structure and mechanics of the viral spread as well as drastically reduces the number of candidate treatments that need laborious laboratory testing. From transformative medical advances to drug discovery driven by massively parallel supercomputing, this minisymposium will span a range of practical approaches to the ongoing crisis.
