Das National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) hat laut Angaben von Cray den XD1 Supercomputer geordert und wird diesen zur Erforschung von Proteinstrukturanalysen und molekularer Modellierung einsetzen.
"There is still a huge gap between the number of known protein amino acid sequences and the number of known 3D structures of proteins. Accurate prediction of protein structures is one of the "grand challenge" problems of biology. Solving these problems could speed understanding of the genetic bases of diseases and lead to more effective drugs and medical treatments."
Das XD1 System wird im ersten Quartal von Cray in der NIEHS Einrichtung in Research Triangle Park (North Carolina) aufgebaut werden.
