Scientific Computing Research Environments for the Mathematical Sciences (SCREMS)

加州大学圣地亚哥分校数学系的科学计算组（sciomp）将购买一台基于mpi的16处理器并行计算机和4台基于linux的可视化图形工作站。这些设备将专门用于支持数学科学的研究。该设备将用于多个研究项目，包括并行自适应多级有限元方法、PDE约束下的最优控制并行算法、并行水平集算法开发以及在生物化学和物理学中的应用。在这个计算设备的支持下，我们的研究项目将为研究生和博士后提供一个广泛的教育经验，在这个环境中，科学计算的不同方面是综合的。这培养出的科学家不仅是自己研究领域的专家，而且能够跨越学科界限进行交流。作为该提案的一部分，SDSC（圣地亚哥超级计算机中心）将提供光纤基础设施，将16处理器并行计算机连接到位于SDSC的类似大型集群。耦合集群将用于需要大量资源的大型生产计算，而单个Scicomp集群将用于并行算法开发和较小的生产计算。与SDSC有光纤连接的Scicomp卫星将补充最近由校园生物化学小组和加州大学圣地亚哥分校医学院建造的类似计算卫星。

The Scientific Computation Group (Scicomp) in the Mathematics Department at UCSD will purchase a 16-processor MPI-based parallel computer and four Linux-based graphics workstations for visualization. The equipment will be dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including parallel adaptive multilevel finite element methods, parallel algorithms for optimal control with PDE constraints, parallel level set algorithm development, and applications in biochemistry and physics. Supported by this computing equipment, our research program will provide graduate students and postdocs a broad educational experience in an environment in which different aspects of scientific computation are integrated. This produces scientists who are not only expert in their own area of study, but are also able to communicate across disciplinary boundaries. As part of this proposal, SDSC (San Diego Supercomputer Center) will provide fiber-optic infrastructure to connect the 16-processor parallel computer to a similar large cluster located at SDSC. The coupled clusters will be used in large production calculations requiring substantial resources, and the individual Scicomp cluster will be used for parallel algorithm development and for smaller production calculations. The Scicomp satellite with fiber link to SDSC will complement similar computational satellites recently constructed by the biochemistry group on campus and by the UCSD Medical School.
