MRI: Acquisition of an Eight-Processor Sun 3500 Parallel Computer

EIA-0079466理查德，布拉德利·瓦萨学院核磁共振成像：收购一台8处理器的Sun 3500并行计算机这项提议是为了提高瓦萨学院的科学和教学计算能力。此外，还提议购买一台8处理器的Sun Enterprise 3500共享内存并行计算机，具有4G的RAM和72G的磁盘空间。这台机器将协助专注于以下问题的研究小组：(I)旨在提高并行Java程序性能的并行计算，(Ii)恒星相互作用的流体力学模拟，以及(Iii)研究BaCeO_3与水蒸气之间反应的模拟。除了支持教师的研究，新机器还将在培养和扩大学生研究和培训方面发挥无价的作用。

EIA-0079466Richards, BradleyVassar CollegeMRI: Acquisition of an Eight-Processor Sun 3500 Parallel ComputerThis proposal is to improve the scientific and pedagogical computational capabilities at Vassar College. Also, it is proposed to purchase an eight-processor Sun Enterprise 3500 shared-memory parallel computer with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 72 gigabytes of disk space. This machine will assist research groups focusing on the following problems: (i) parallel computing with the goal of improving the performance of parallel Java programs, (ii) hydrodynamics simulations of stellar interactions, and (iii) simulations to investigate reactions between BaCeO3 and water vapor. In addition to supporting faculty research, the new machine will also be invaluable for fostering and expanding student research and training.
