This project, establishing a state-of-the-art 128-CPU cluster computing facility, services research programs in theoretical astrophysics, liquid state chemical physics, nanotechnology, quantum chemistry, molecular biophysics, neuroinformatics, and structural bioinformatics, all of which depend on high-end computing. The cluster also impacts ongoing instruction in the university. The instrument serves as a learning tool and the basis of courses and certification program in computational sciences.

该项目建立了一个最先进的128 CPU集群计算设施，为理论天体物理学，液态化学物理学，纳米技术，量子化学，分子生物物理学，神经信息学和结构生物信息学的研究计划提供服务，所有这些都依赖于高端计算。这一集群还影响到大学的持续教学。该仪器作为一个学习工具和计算科学课程和认证计划的基础。
