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

杨炳权佐治亚理工学院CTS-9411690建议将现有的30兆次浮点运算的工作站升级到100兆次浮点运算以上，并增加存储和内存空间。该设备将用于支持两个研究项目：反应和热效应的扩散以及湍流和标量输运的拉格朗日研究。其中第一个项目由现有的NSF研究启动基金资助。这项工作正在扩大到包括有放热反应的流动和变密度的流体。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，因此需要使用大量数据集。额外的内存和磁盘空间将促进这一点。

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.
