en-us	U.S. supercomputers take aim at coronavirus. 
zh-cn	美国超级计算机为抗击冠状病毒贡献力量

en-us	The United States is making the world’s most advanced supercomputers available to scientists around the globe to help fight the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
zh-cn	美国正在制造全世界最先进的超级计算机，供全球各地的科学家使用 ，帮助他们为抗击2019新型冠状病毒疾病（COVID-19）进行努力。

en-us	The White House recently announced the creation of the COVID-19 High Performance Computing Consortium, a new collaboration between the U.S. government, technology companies and research universities.
zh-cn	最近白宫宣布新成立2019冠状病毒疾病高性能计算集团，由美国政府、科技公司和研究性高等院校组成。

en-us	This initiative will “unleash the power of American supercomputing resources to ... help researchers discover new treatments and vaccines,” President Trump said on March 22. 
zh-cn	3月22日，特朗普总统发表讲话表示，这项倡议将“开发美国超级计算资源的威力... ...为研究人员发现新的治疗方法和疫苗提供帮助”。

en-us	Using these computers, scientists will be able to answer complex questions about the virus’ genetic code or molecular shape in hours or days instead of weeks or months. 
zh-cn	科学家们可利用这些计算机在几小时或几天内回答复杂的病毒基因图谱问题或了解分子的形状，不再需要等几个星期，甚至几个月。

en-us	Through this project, researchers can submit proposals to an online portal where they will be reviewed and matched with computing power. 
zh-cn	研究人员可以通过这个项目在门户网站提交建议书，供有关方面审阅并利用计算能力进行匹配。

en-us	Many of these computers already aid in scientific discovery. 
zh-cn	很多这样的计算机已经为科学发现提供了帮助。

en-us	For example, NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer at the Ames Research Center in California ordinarily simulates massive objects at the center of the galaxy. It will now be used to accelerate understanding of COVID-19 to help beat the virus. 
zh-cn	例如，NASA在加利福尼亚州艾姆斯研究中心的昴宿星超级计算机一般用于模拟银河星系中心的大型星体，现在将用于加快对2019冠状病毒的认识，为抗击病毒提供帮助。

en-us	The fastest of the supercomputers, called Summit, at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, can calculate 200 petaflops. That’s 200,000 trillion calculations per second, using the standard measure for supercomputer power. 
zh-cn	最快的超级计算机是”顶点”，位于美国能源部设在田纳西州的橡树岭国家实验室，可进行每秒200次方浮点运算，按超级计算机的运算标准每秒可完成200,000万亿次运算。

en-us	Researchers have already used Summit to identify 77 small-molecule drug compounds that might warrant further study in the fight against COVID-19. 
zh-cn	研究人员充分利用“顶点”超级计算机，现已确定77 个小分子药物成分，可能值得为抗击冠状病毒疾病进一步进行研究。

en-us	Using the supercomputer, researchers have already been able to analyze compounds in days rather than months to find ones that might stop the virus from sticking to human cells. 
zh-cn	研究人员通过超级计算机已经能够在几天内对化合物进行分析，了解有可能制止病毒侵入人体细胞的成分，不必花几个月的时间。

en-us	“The Department of Energy is home to the world’s fastest and most powerful supercomputers,” U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette said. 
zh-cn	美国能源部长丹·布鲁伊利特表示，“能源部拥有全世界最快和威力最强的超级计算机。

en-us	“We are excited to partner with leaders across the scientific community who will use our world class innovation and technology to combat COVID-19.” 
zh-cn	我们能够与科学界领导人物一起，让他们利用我们世界级的发明和技术抗击2019冠状病毒疾病，为此感到很振奋。”
