Computational Medicine in the Exascale Computing Era: Applications at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility

Computational medicine has revolutionized healthcare by leveraging cutting-edge computing technologies to advance medical research and improve patient outcomes. For decades, high performance computing (HPC) has been a great ally to biological modeling but over the past few years HPC use for biomedical applications has been growing steadily. With the rise of exascale computing, promising to deliver unprecedented computing power and scalability, the potential of computational medicine is even greater. This paper discusses opportunities and some challenges exascale computing presents for advancing computational medicine. In addition, the paper highlights some applications addressing pressing healthcare delivery challenges of our time.
