Under this award, Princeton University will purchase CONVEX mini- supercomputer facilities for theoretical and observational investigations. Primary use will be for large scale simulations in cosmology to test the currently considered theoretical models against the increasingly detailed observations of large scale structure and the background radiation fields. The local facilities will be used both for preliminary modelling and for manipulation and display of the results obtained from NSF supported supercomputer facilities. Also significant will be use for processing of both optical and radio images. For both applications, the C-220 with its speed, large memory (512 Mb), and efficient FFT routines is ideal. Princeton University is providing 50% of the purchase price in a cost-sharing arrangement.

根据该奖项，普林斯顿大学将购买 CONVEX 小型超级计算机设施用于理论和观测研究。 主要用途将用于宇宙学中的大规模模拟，以根据对大规模结构和背景辐射场的日益详细的观测来测试当前考虑的理论模型。 当地设施将用于初步建模以及操作和显示从 NSF 支持的超级计算机设施获得的结果。 同样重要的是用于光学和无线电图像的处理。 对于这两种应用，具有速度、大内存 (512 Mb) 和高效 FFT 例程的 C-220 是理想的选择。 普林斯顿大学通过成本分摊安排提供 50% 的购买价格。
