Purchase of Computational Chemistry Resource for the University of Memphis

该奖项由化学研究仪器和设施 （CRIF）计划和多学科活动办公室（OMA）将 帮助孟菲斯大学的化学系购买一个 分布式存储器，八处理器计算机，两个图形工作站， 六个工作站。该设备将加强各种研究 包括催化烃转化、非线性光学 材料，电化学界面现象，以及 从DNA中构建计算机。 快速、现代化的计算机工作站网络是满足 化学系的计算需求。这样的“计算机网络” 也作为新的理论代码的开发环境， 算法，提供图形和可视化工具，并支持 研究并行处理的最新应用。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) will help the Department of Chemistry at the University of Memphis purchase a distributed-memory, eight-processor computer, two graphics workstations, and six workstations. This equipment will enhance research in a variety of areas including catalytic hydrocarbon conversion, nonlinear optical materials, electrochemical interface phenomenon, and the feasibility of building `computers` from DNA. A 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 graphics and visualization facilities, and supports research in state-of-the-art applications of parallel processing.
