Acquisition of a Graphics Computer System

进行前沿研究的化学家越来越依赖于 更多的是在能够处理复杂的 模拟、数据分析和图形软件。 需要 在一台实验室计算机上容纳多个用户， 单个化学系设施上的多个用户可以 通过单一解决方案： 大多数用户的需求，并为其余的，随时访问 其他类型的工作站，最终，到一个迷你 超级计算机 化学共享仪器计划（Chemistry Shared Instruments Program） 将帮助北达科他州的化学系 大学购置、维护和操作一台绘图计算机 系统 将加强的化学研究领域 通过收购包括： 1. 刘易斯酸螯合物的理论和实验研究 中间体的 2. 分子内氢键，能量学和动力学 主族有机金属反应。 3. 天然产物的全合成。

Chemists carrying out frontier research are relying more and more on computers that are capable of handling sophisticated simulations, data analysis and graphics software. The need to accomodate multiple users on the single laboratory computer and multiple users on a single chemistry department facility can be met by a single solution: individual work stations for the majority of user needs and, for the remainder, ready access to other types of work stations and, ultimately, to a mini supercomputer. This award from the Chemistry Shared Instrumentation Program will help the Department of Chemistry at the North Dakota State University to acquire, maintain and operate a graphics computer system. The areas of chemical research that will be enhanced by the acquisition include: 1. Theoretical and experimental studies of Lewis acid chelated intermediates. 2. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding, energetics and dynamics of main group organometallic reactions. 3. Total synthesis of natural products.
