This project, (from a minority-serving institution in an EPCoR state) acquiring a 128 processor Beowulf cluster interconnected by Myrinet running the Linux Operating System, enables research in multiprocessor design, natural hazard assessment, medical cardiology, and nanobiotechnology. Specifically, the cluster will service the following research projects:Development of Accurate Analytical Cache Models Using Intrinsic LocalityBioelectromagnetic Analysis and OptimizationValidation of a Physics-based Wildfire ModelNanobiotechnologyContributing to the body of knowledge and understanding in computer architectures, nanobiotechnology, bioelectromagnetics, and the environmental sciences, the equipment fulfills the need of a high-performance computational platform to enable the research of the investigators.Broader Impact: Some significant research activities, such as wildfire modeling, modeling of cardiac electromagnetic field and currents, and phytoremediation, can reasonably be expected to save lives and property. Thus the research is bound to have a high impact on society as well as education in this minority serving institution. Furthermore, the work exhibits strong emphasis on learning, communication, and interaction across disciplines.

该项目（来自EPCoR州的一个少数民族服务机构）获得了一个由运行Linux操作系统的Myrinet互连的128处理器Beowulf集群，使多处理器设计，自然灾害评估，医疗心脏病学和纳米生物技术的研究成为可能。具体而言，该集群将为以下研究项目提供服务：使用内在定位开发精确的分析缓存模型生物电磁分析和优化基于物理的野火模型的验证纳米生物技术为计算机体系结构、纳米生物技术、生物电磁学和环境科学领域的知识和理解做出贡献，该设备满足了高性能计算平台的需求，使研究人员能够进行研究。一些重要的研究活动，如野火建模，心脏电磁场和电流的建模，以及植物修复，可以合理地期望挽救生命和财产。因此，本课题的研究必将对这所少数民族服务机构的社会和教育产生深远的影响。此外，这项工作非常强调跨学科的学习，沟通和互动。
