Project Uses Cloud Computing and AI To Address Unsafe Street Drugs
Scientists have used supercomputers to help understand the biological, chemical and physical changes our world is going through, to discover new frontiers in science, and to invent new technologies to improve the human condition. Now, researchers from the University of Victoria (UVic) on British Columbia’s Vancouver Island are using supercomputing resources to address one of society’s biggest challenges – the risks of an unregulated drug market – and help change the lives of those impacted by overdose. Their work shows how these cold, complex machines can have personal impacts on our lives and opens doors to greater possibilities for our safety and security.The Arbutus HPC cloudThe Arbutus phase 2 HPC cloud was recently deployed at the University of Victoria (UVic).
