Scientific Computing Research Environments for the Mathematical Sciences (SCREMS): A Computing Facility for Mathematical Science at UCI

加州大学欧文分校数学系将购买一台Beowulf集群，该集群由32个(16个双)Intel Pentium CPU(通过1 Gbic以太网连接，由Linux运行)和一台SGI图形计算机组成。计算机设备将作为一种强大的分布式计算资源，支持涉及偏微分方程式数值研究的数学科学研究。这一广泛的研究领域将特别包括以下项目：三维弹性系统中微结构的演化-Q.Nie和F.Wann三维表面扩散的数值研究-H.赵-N模型的计算研究-Q.Nie，K.Solna和E.调和映射的TitiComputaiton-P.Li平边高斯曲率流的数值研究-P.Daskalopoulos和R.Hamilton除了对所研究的材料科学、流体力学和几何问题有新的理解外，这些研究结果还将为科学和工程中许多其他需要大规模计算的重要问题提供重要的计算工具

The Department of Mathematics at the University of California at Irvine will purchase a Beowulf cluster of 32 (16 dual) Intel Pentium CPUs (connected with 1Gbic ethernet and operated by Linux) together with a SGI graphics computer. The computer equipment will be dedicated as a powerful distributed computing resource to the support of research in the mathematical sciences involving numerical studies of partial differential equations. This broad area of research will include in particular the following projects:Microstructure evolution in a three-dimensional elastic system - Q. Nie and F. WanNumerical study of surface diffusion in three dimensions - H. ZhaoComputational study of the Navier-Stokes-alpha model - Q. Nie, K. Solna and E. TitiComputaiton of harmonic maps - P. LiNumerical studies for the Gauss curvature flow with flat sides - P. Daskalopoulos and R. HamiltonIn addition to new understanding for the problems in material sciences, fluid mechanics and geometry investigated, the results of these studies will provide important computational tools for many other important problems in science and engineering that require large scale computation
