Epidemiologists have turned to the power of supercomputers to model and predict how the disease spreads at local and regional levels in hopes of forecasting potential new hot spots and guiding policy makers' decisions in containing the disease's spread. GCS is supporting several projects focused on these goals. ""Our workflows are perfectly scalable in the sense that the number of calculations we can perform is directly proportional to the number of cores available."
