CDA-9724613 Bansil, Arun Northeastern University Acquisition of a High-Performance Computation/Visualization Laboratory for Scientific Research Northeastern University is acquiring a symmetric multiprocessor, a network of workstations, and a cluster of high-performance graphics workstations to support scientific visualizations, the execution of medium scale science and engineering computations, and the development of scalable codes using standard programming languages and tools. Research areas include high-energy physics, materials science simulations, cosmology, protein dynamics, and large non-linear dynamics systems simulation. Northeastern University plans to include advanced computational techniques involving parallel platforms and languages into existing computational science courses. One of the PIs of the proposal is also a co-coordinator of Academic Common Experience (ACE) at Northeastern University whereby non-science majors are introduced to science and technology. The high-performance facilities will also be available for use by such students. Various departments represented in this proposal are active in outreach activities for local high school teachers and students.

东北大学收购高性能计算/可视化实验室东北大学正在收购对称多处理器、工作站网络和高性能图形工作站集群，以支持科学可视化、执行中等规模的科学和工程计算以及使用标准编程语言和工具开发可伸缩代码。研究领域包括高能物理、材料科学模拟、宇宙学、蛋白质动力学和大型非线性动力学系统模拟。东北大学计划将涉及并行平台和语言的先进计算技术纳入现有的计算科学课程。该提案的一名私人投资者也是东北大学学术共同经验(ACE)的联合协调员，通过该项目，非理科专业的学生被介绍给科学和技术。这些高性能的设施也将供这些学生使用。该提案所代表的各部门积极参与针对当地高中师生的外展活动。
