The post PBOC sets USD/CNY reference rate at 6.7989 vs. 6.8036 previous appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Friday, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) sets the USD/CNY central rate for the trading session ahead at 6.7989 compared to the previous day’s fix of 6.8036 and 6.7931 Reuters estimate. PBOC FAQs The primary monetary policy objectives of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) are to safeguard price stability, including exchange rate stability, and promote economic growth. China’s central bank also aims to implement financial reforms, such as opening and developing the financial market. The PBoC is owned by the state of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), so it is not considered an autonomous institution. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee Secretary, nominated by the Chairman of the State Council, has a key influence on the PBoC’s management and direction, not the governor. However, Mr. Pan Gongsheng currently holds both of these posts. Unlike the Western economies, the

The post Nvidia NVSHMEM Boosts GROMACS GPU Scaling for Molecular Dynamics appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ted Hisokawa Jul 09, 2026 18:05 Nvidia’s NVSHMEM enables GPU-initiated communication, improving GROMACS scalability by eliminating CPU bottlenecks in molecular dynamics simulations. Nvidia is reshaping molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with its GPU-native communication library, NVSHMEM, as highlighted in a new guide published on July 9, 2026. By enabling GPUs to directly manage data transfers, NVSHMEM eliminates the CPU orchestration bottleneck that has historically limited scalability in workloads like GROMACS, one of the most widely used MD packages. This shift introduces significant performance improvements for researchers studying atomic behavior in areas like protein folding and drug discovery. Traditional MD simulations rely on the Message Passing Interface (MPI), which is CPU-centric and struggles to keep pace with the sub-millisecond time steps now
