NVIDIA Details BioNeMo Inference Runtime (BioIR): 2.90x Higher Boltz-2 Folding Throughput and 58.5K Residues per GPU-Hour on 8xH100

NVIDIA released BioNeMo Inference Runtime (BioIR), a Python library that speeds up supported protein-structure prediction inference on NVIDIA GPUs while keeping the standard PyTorch workflow. In a matched benchmark on 8xH100 for 1,000 human dimers, BioIR delivered 58.5K successfully folded residues per GPU-hour versus 20.2K for an open-source torch-compiled Boltz-2 implementation. The throughput improves by 2.90x on this dataset and hardware, and NVIDIA estimates energy for 1 million comparable targets drops from 35 MWh to 11 MWh (8-GPU TDP equivalent).
