Purchase of a Departmental Parallel Processing Computer

这份来自化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目和多学科活动办公室（OMA）的合同将帮助科罗拉多大学化学系购买一台并行处理计算机。该设备将加强各种领域的研究，包括与大气化学相关的反应研究，分子反应性的基础研究和材料的各个方面。快速、现代化的计算机工作站网络是满足化学部门计算需求的新途径。这样的“计算机网络”还可以作为新的理论代码和算法的开发环境，提供图形和可视化设施，并支持最先进的并行处理应用研究。

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 Colorado purchase a parallel processing computer. This equipment will enhance research in a variety of areas including reactions studies relevant to atmospheric chemistry, fundamental studies of molecular reactivity, and aspects of materials. 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.
