This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at the University of Nebraska--Lincoln in the purchase of a parallel computational facility using IBM SP2. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) Theory and Computer Simulations of Phase Transition, (2) Crystallography, Molecular Modeling of Macromolecular Systems, (c) Molecular Simulations and Modeling of Supramolecular Clusters, (d) NMR-related Theoretical Studies, and (e) Molecular Modeling of Catalyst-Substrate Interactions. 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, provides state-of-the-art graphics and visualization facilities and supports research in state-of-the-art applications of parallel processing.

化学研究仪器和设施项目的这一奖项将帮助内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校的化学系购买使用IBM SP2的并行计算设施。该设备将加强以下领域的研究：(1)相变的理论和计算机模拟，(2)结晶学，大分子体系的分子模拟，(C)超分子簇的分子模拟和模拟，(D)与核磁共振相关的理论研究，以及(E)催化剂-底物相互作用的分子模拟。由快速、现代化的计算机工作站组成的工作站网络是满足化工部门计算需求的一种新途径。这种“计算机网络”还作为新的理论代码和算法的开发环境，提供最先进的图形和可视化设施，并支持对最先进的并行处理应用程序的研究。
