ENGINEERING RESEARCH EQUIPMENT: High-Performance Workstation Upgrade Beyond 100 Megaflops

摘要P.K.杨格鲁吉亚理工学院CTS-9411690 该提案旨在将现有的30 Megaflops工作站升级到100 Megaflops以上，并增加存储和内存空间。 该设备将用于支持两个研究项目：扩散与反应和加热效应以及湍流和标量输运的拉格朗日研究。 其中第一个是由现有的NSF研究启动补助金资助。 这项工作正在扩大到包括流动与放热反应和流体的密度变化。 包含这些效果意味着需要更高的CPU速度和内存。 第二个项目需要跟踪许多流体粒子，因此使用了大量数据集。 这将通过额外的内存和磁盘空间来实现。

ABSTRACT P. K. Yeung Georgia Institute of Technology CTS-9411690 The proposal is to upgrade an existing workstation rated at 30 Megaflops to beyond 100 Megaflops and also to increase storage and memory space. This equipment will be used in support of two research projects: Diffusion with reaction and heating effects and Lagrangian studies of turbulence and scalar transport. The first of these is funded by an existing NSF Research Initiation Grant. The work is being extended to included flows with exothermic reactions and fluids with variable density. The inclusion of these effects implies the need for more CPU speed and memory. The second project requires the tracking of many fluid particles and, hence, large data sets are used. This will be facilitated by the additional memory and disk space.
