The input/output database structure now has one additional hierarchical level: Meta-tranches. 

This means that there are now four hierarchical levels:

  • Meta-tranches
  • Tranches
  • Collections
  • Ligands

Since each level can contain 10⁴ to 10⁶ elements, this means that the current architecture is able to handle 10¹⁶ to 10²⁴ ligands, which is more than can be screened in even the far future. Therefore, also regarding this aspect VirtualFlow is ready for exascale computing age.
