9724303 Landman A parallel processing computer system will be acquired by the Georgia Institute of Technology. The computer system will support research in modeling and simulation of physical and chemical processes in complex materials systems, including tribology, elastohydrodynamics, lubrication, chemical dynamics, clusters and nanostructured materials. The computer system will be part of the Computational Materials Science Center at Georgia Tech, where it will be available to students as part of formal courses that incorporate a "hands-on" experience in computational activities. The Center also organizes a seminar series and an annual workshop where topics pertaining to the use of computers in solving challenging scientific problems are discussed. %%% The investigations proposed address fundamental issues which are often of relevance for the development of new technologies. The complex nature of the phenomena investigated requires large-scale simulations and calculations, involving a large number of degrees of freedom and prolonged time scales in order to model reliably the systems being studied. The parallel computer system will enhance current capabilities at Georgia Tech and open new, and otherwise inaccessible, avenues of research. ***

小行星9724303 格鲁吉亚理工学院将购置一套并行处理计算机系统。 该计算机系统将支持复杂材料系统中物理和化学过程的建模和模拟研究，包括摩擦学，弹性流体动力学，润滑，化学动力学，团簇和纳米结构材料。 该计算机系统将成为格鲁吉亚理工学院计算材料科学中心的一部分，在那里，它将作为正式课程的一部分提供给学生，这些课程将在计算活动中提供“动手”体验。 该中心还组织了一系列研讨会和年度研讨会，讨论有关使用计算机解决具有挑战性的科学问题的主题。 %所提出的调查解决了通常与新技术开发相关的基本问题。 研究的现象的复杂性需要大规模的模拟和计算，涉及大量的自由度和延长的时间尺度，以可靠地模拟正在研究的系统。 并行计算机系统将提高格鲁吉亚理工学院目前的能力，并开辟新的，否则无法进入的研究途径。 ***
