Why simulating an entire cell cycle took years, multiple GPUs and 6 days per run
https://phys.org/news/2026-03-simulating-entire-cell-years-multiple.html
By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the essential processes of life. The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell.
