The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Boston University will purchase computing equipment which will be dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment consists of one SUN HPC450 (with 2 x 512 Mbytes RAM, 9.1 Gbyte disks, dual 400 MHz processors), two SUN Ultra 60's (each with 2 x 512 Mbytes RAM, 9.1 Gbyte disks, dual 360 MHz processors), and a SUN Enterprise 250 file server (with dual 300 MHz processors). Boston University will provide a cost-sharing commitment of 50% of the total acquisition cost. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including in particular: (1) massive iterations of complex analytic functions and the visualization of their dynamics (R. L. Devaney); (2) computationally intensive hierarchical statistical modeling of time series and images (M. E. Glickman and E. D. Kolaczyk); (3) numerical studies of pattern formation and self-replicating spots (T. J. Kaper); (4) symbolic computation in geometry and topology (T. Kimura); (5) laarge-scale simulations and visualization for differential equation models in neurophysiology focusing on electrical activity in hippocampal neurons (N. Kopell, M. S. Olufsen, J. A. White).

波士顿大学数学和统计系将购买计算机设备，专门用于支持数学科学的研究。该设备包括一台SUN HPC 450（配有2 x 512 Mbytes RAM、9.1 Gbyte磁盘、双400 MHz处理器）、两台SUN Ultra 60（各配有2 x 512 Mbytes RAM、9.1 Gbyte磁盘、双360 MHz处理器）和一台SUN Enterprise 250文件服务器（配有双300 MHz处理器）。波士顿大学将提供总采购成本的50%的成本分摊承诺。该设备将用于几个研究项目，特别是包括：（1）复杂解析函数的大规模迭代及其动力学的可视化（R。L. Devaney）;（2）时间序列和图像的计算密集型分层统计建模（M。E. Glickman和E. D. Kolaczyk）;（3）斑图形成和自复制斑的数值研究（T.（4）几何与拓扑中的符号计算（T. Kimura）;（5）神经生理学微分方程模型的大规模模拟和可视化，重点关注海马神经元的电活动（N. Kopell，M. S.奥鲁夫森白色）。
