Introducing Zsolt Zsoldos, CSO/CTO of SimBioSys
Hi, I’m Zsolt Zsoldos, the Chief Scientific/Technical Officer here at SimBioSys. I know the blog has been going for a few months now and I am a bit late to the party, but there has been a reason for that. I’ve been focused on meeting a particular deadline, Bio-IT in Boston next week. At Bio-IT we will be showing, for the first time, eHITS lightning. This is the port of our eHITS software to the Cell processor. I won’t describe this in detail here since we’ve done it in our White Paper already. I also spoke about it at the ACS – my presentation is online here. Take a look at slide 27 in that presentation to see the speed up achieved to date. Things have progressed since that report and I will post more details after the Bio-IT. If you happen to be coming to Bio-IT please do stop by at booth #319 to visit and see eHiTS lightning running live on a Sony Playstation3.

[…] I’ve blogged previously about the work being done on PlayStations to support computational chemistry. Now, Zsolt Zsoldo, CTO of SimBioSys, announces that their “eHITS Lightning” program will be unveiled at Bio-IT in Boston next week. I sat in on his talk at ACS where he reviewed the initial results on the Cell Processor on both PlayStation 3 and IBM Blade processors with the cell processor. His talk is online as discussed on the SimBioSys blog. They are VERY impressive initial numbers. Is this the future…computational chemistry on gaming machins that can be purchased for about $400, run on free Linux? Why not…
