9512210 Oden This proposal requests the acquisition of a mid-scale parallel computing system consisting of 32 to 64 processing elements with high bandwidth interprocessor communication to insure scalability into the teraflop regime. The system will have parallel I/O to a disk system of around 100 gigabytes capacity. The facility will provide for the development of new computational algorithms, new software tools and mathematical techniques which will have a broad impact across a multitude of scientific and engineering disciplines. The proposed facility supports broad research activities across a variety of disciplines in engineering and sciences, in such tasks parallel computing play an important role. These research activities span the entire spectrum of computational modeling, ranging from computational chemistry to engineering mechanics, and to astrophysics. ***

小行星9512210 该提案要求收购一个由32到64个处理元件组成的中型并行计算系统，具有高带宽处理器间通信，以确保可扩展到万亿次浮点运算机制。该系统将有一个大约100千兆字节容量的磁盘系统的并行I/O。该设施将提供新的计算算法，新的软件工具和数学技术的发展，这将在众多的科学和工程学科产生广泛的影响。拟议的设施支持广泛的研究活动，在工程和科学的各种学科，在这些任务中，并行计算发挥了重要作用。这些研究活动涵盖了计算建模的整个领域，从计算化学到工程力学，再到天体物理学。 ***
