=== Anton3 ===
Anton3 is a ___domain-specific architecture designed to efficiently compute [[Molecular dynamics|molecular-dynamics]] simulations. It uses a specialized 3D [[torus]] topology interconnection network to connect several computing nodes<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Shaw |first=David E. |last2=Adams |first2=Peter J. |last3=Azaria |first3=Asaph |last4=Bank |first4=Joseph A. |last5=Batson |first5=Brannon |last6=Bell |first6=Alistair |last7=Bergdorf |first7=Michael |last8=Bhatt |first8=Jhanvi |last9=Butts |first9=J.

Each computing node contains a set of 64 cores interconnected through a [[Mesh topology|mesh]]. The cores implement a specialized deep pipeline to efficiently compute the [[Force field (chemistry)|force-field]] between molecules.
