With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Multi User program (CRIF:MU), the Chemistry Department at Northwestern University will acquire a 40 node computer cluster for 28 faculty. It will be utilized in research projects requiring parallel computers including 1) nano-optics, 2) DNA-linked aggregates, 3) dip pen lithography, 4) molecular alignment in EM fields, 5) molecular electric conductance, 6) numerical finite difference computational method, and 7) electromagnetic transport. The computer cluster will also be incorporated in graduate and undergraduate courses on computational chemistry and valence theory.A cluster of fast, modern computer workstations is vital to serving the computing needs of active research departments. Such a "computer network" also serves as a development environment for new theoretical codes and algorithms, provides state-of-the-art graphics and visualization facilities, and supports research in state-of-the-art applications of parallel processing. These studies will have a significant impact in a wide number of areas, including biochemistry and materials science.

根据这份来自化学研究仪器和设施：多用户项目（CRIF:MU）的合同，西北大学化学系将获得一个40节点的计算机集群，供28名教员使用。它将用于需要并行计算机的研究项目，包括1)纳米光学，2)dna连接聚集体，3)蘸笔光刻，4)电磁场中的分子定位，5)分子电导率，6)数值有限差分计算方法，以及7)电磁传输。计算机集群也将被纳入研究生和本科生的计算化学和价理论课程。一组快速、现代化的计算机工作站对于满足活跃的研究部门的计算需求至关重要。这样的“计算机网络”还可以作为新的理论代码和算法的开发环境，提供最先进的图形和可视化设施，并支持最先进的并行处理应用的研究。这些研究将对包括生物化学和材料科学在内的许多领域产生重大影响。
