Valence Labs is a research engine, powered by Recursion, committed to advancing the frontier of AI in drug discovery. Valence has been using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) as an AI platform
In the dynamic realm of
MolGPS represents a significant leap in molecular property prediction methodologies.
At the heart of MolGPS lies what wouldn’t have been possible without OCI’s fast, responsive, and reliable compute offering. Roughly 300,000 jobs were submitted to the GPU cluster, which included the scaling to six different axes and finetuning against 34 datasets to validate Valence’s
Compute clusters with parallel processing capabilities are tailor-made for accelerating deep learning tasks like those encountered in molecular property prediction. By harnessing the immense computational power MolGPS achieves remarkable speedups in model training, expediting the exploration of vast chemical spaces and empowering researchers to tackle complex challenges with agility and precision.
OCI emerged as a strategic partner in this journey, offering a robust and scalable platform optimized with bare metal compute and industry-leading internode bandwidth for GPU-accelerated workloads. However, Valence’s experience has transcended the AI platform itself, including Principal Software Developer Julien St-Laurent recently commenting in the OCI and Valence support channel, “It’s been very stable, and the support here has been top-notch…we're very happy.” The intersection of people and technology from OCI were fundamental to the success of not just building one model, but also understanding how to build the ideal model.
In the pursuit of unraveling the mysteries of molecular properties, MolGPS emerges as a beacon of innovation, guided by the principles of GNNs and propelled by the computational might of GPUs. With Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a steadfast partner, Valence Labs journey towards transformative discovery became not just a possibility, but a tangible reality. As researchers continue to push the boundaries of scientific exploration, the fusion of
