Anton Roux

Anton Roux (born 5 June 1981) is a former South African cricketer who is the current coach of the Netherlands national cricket team, having previously played South African domestic cricket for Northerns.

Roux was born in New York City to South African parents. He moved back to South Africa aged five, playing both underage representative cricket and football, and later attended Pretoria Boys High School. At South African domestic level, Roux played for Northerns (previously Northern Transvaal), a second-tier team providing players to the top-level Titans franchise. An off-spinner and competent lower-order batsman, he made his first-class debut during the 2007–08 season of the Provincial Three-Day Challenge, playing two matches. In his second match, against Namibia, he took 3/30 in Namibia's second innings, his best figures at first-class level. Roux also played four limited-overs matches in that season's Provincial One-Day Challenge, including the competition's final, in which Northerns lost to Gauteng. He retired at the end of the following season to concentrate on his coaching career, having played two further first-class games.

Anton (computer)

Anton is a massively parallel supercomputer designed and built by D. E. Shaw Research in New York. It is a special-purpose system for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins and other biological macromolecules. An Anton machine consists of a substantial number of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), interconnected by a specialized high-speed, three-dimensional torus network.

Unlike earlier special-purpose systems for MD simulations, such as MDGRAPE-3 developed by RIKEN in Japan, Anton runs its computations entirely on specialized ASICs, instead of dividing the computation between specialized ASICs and general-purpose host processors.

Each Anton ASIC contains two computational subsystems. Most of the calculation of electrostatic and van der Waals forces is performed by the high-throughput interaction subsystem (HTIS). This subsystem contains 32 deeply pipelined modules running at 800 MHz arranged much like a systolic array. The remaining calculations, including the bond forces and the fast Fourier transforms (used for long-range electrostatics), are performed by the flexible subsystem. This subsystem contains four general-purpose Tensilica cores (each with cache and scratchpad memory) and eight specialized but programmable SIMD cores called geometry cores. The flexible subsystem runs at 400 MHz.
