Acquisition of Massively Parallel Processor for Scientific Computing Applications and Computer Science Engineering.

该奖项是为了获得基础设施，以支持密歇根大学的计算科学和工程。要获得的基础设施包括两台并行计算机和一个由高性能工作站组成的松散耦合高速网络。该基础设施支持的研究领域包括汽车设计、计算流体动力学、空间等离子体物理、计算粒子输运、并行CAD工具、并行算法和架构以及并行计算环境。这些高性能计算机将支持计算科学和工程（CS&amp；E）以及更有效地使用并行性的研究。cse是补充实验和理论的第三种研究范式。该计算设备的收购将允许用户探索cse与实验和理论预测之间的相互作用。将计算与实验相结合，可以更快地建立原型，从而产生更有用的最终产品，无论是科学产品还是制造产品。

This award is for the acquisition of infrastructure to support computational science and engineering at the University of Michigan. The infrastructure to be acquired consists of two parallel computers and a loosely coupled high speed network of high performance workstations. The areas of research supported by this infrastructure include automotive design, computational fluid dynamics, space plasma physics, computational particle transport, parallel CAD tools, parallel algorithms and architectures, and a parallel computing environment. These high performance computers will support both computational science and engineering (CS&E) and studies into more effective use of parallelism. CS&E is a third research paradigm complementing experimentation and theory. The acquisition of this computational facility will allow users to explore the interactions between CS&E and both experiments and theoretical predictions. The use of computation in conjunction with experimentation allows much more rapid prototyping that in turn results in more useful endproducts, be they science or manufactured products.
