Computer Workstations for Chemical Theory and Experiment

化学研究仪器设备计划的这一奖项将帮助斯坦福大学化学系购买使用DEC工作站的计算设备升级。 该设备将加强包括以下领域的研究：（1）复杂分子系统的动力学和结构，（2）生物物理光谱学的高性能计算，（3）活性位点的电子结构，（4）远离平衡的化学反应，（5）分子动力学计算机模拟，以及（6）理论和计算X射线吸收光谱学。 快速、现代化的计算机工作站网络是满足化学系计算需求的新途径。 这样的“计算机网络”也可作为新的理论代码和算法的开发环境，并提供最先进的图形和可视化设施。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University in the purchase of an upgrade of their computational facility using DEC Workstations. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) Dynamics and Structure in Complex Molecular Systems, (2) High Performance Computing for Biophysical Spectroscopy, (3) Electronic Structures of Active Sites, (4) Chemical Reactions Far From Equilibrium, (5) Molecular Dynamics Computer Simulations, and (6) Theoretical and Computational X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy. A workstation network of fast, modern computer workstations is a new way to satisfy the computing needs of chemistry departments. Such a "computer network" also serves as a development environment for new theoretical codes and algorithms, and provides state-of-the-art graphics and visualization facilities.
