Case Study: XtalPi accelerates AI-powered drug discovery and lowers computing costs with Google Cloud Platform

Accelerating drug discovery and development to offer more timely and affordable medical treatments

XtalPi, a drug discovery company founded in 2014, helps pharmaceutical firms speed up R&D using AI, quantum physics, and cloud-based supercomputing. As its compute needs grew, XtalPi needed a secure, scalable, and cost-effective way to run fluctuating workloads in its multi-cloud architecture, and turned to Google Cloud Platform.

By incorporating Google Cloud Platform’s GPU and VM instances, including Spot VMs and Cloud GPUs, XtalPi improved the speed of computational results while lowering drug development and computing costs. Google Cloud Platform also strengthened data security, improved network connection speed, and expanded XtalPi’s access to high-performance computing resources.
