提案号：CNS 07-22415PI(s): Lusk, Mark T. Ely, James F.；Ganesh马哈德文;机构：科罗拉多矿业学院金，CO 80401职称：MRI/Acq。：高性能计算集群致力于能源科学项目建议：该项目，获得一个高性能计算集群，旨在为能源科学研究带来新的能力维度，使七个初始项目能够促进该社区高性能计算文化的发展。项目包括：用于燃料矿床识别的地震建模、生物质能转换、制氢光电化学、聚合物电池、二氧化碳排放与气候变化的关系，以及碳氢化合物沉积、水合物成核和生长、生物质能转换、氢的光电生产等主题。该设施由黄金能源计算组织（GECO）管理，促进跨学科活动，促进教育、科学探究和工业追求之间的联系，涵盖广泛的能源相关研究。更广泛的影响：GECO集群积极影响国家发现和开发新能源的努力，使高性能计算教育的关键方面成为可能，在高性能计算维护方面实施培训计划。此外，该机构还建立了一个多方面的外展项目，其中包括一所主要为平头印第安保留地的美国土著萨利什·库特奈人服务的学院。还将向女工程师提供特别培训和研究机会。

Proposal #: CNS 07-22415PI(s): Lusk, Mark T. Ely, James F.; Ganesh, Mahadevan; Romig, Phillip R.Institution: Colorado School of Mines Golden, CO 80401Title: MRI/Acq.: High Perfomance Computing Cluster Dedicated to the Energy ScienceProject Proposed:This project, acquiring a high performance computing cluster with the intent of bringing a new dimension of capability to research in energy sciences, enables seven initial projects catalyzing the development of a culture of HPC for this community. The projects include: seismological modeling for fuel deposit identification, biomass energy conversion, hydrogen production photoelectrochemistry, polymer batteries, relating CO2 emission to climate change, with topics such as hydrocarbon deposits, hydrate nucleation and growth, biomass energy conversion, photoelectrical production of hydrogen, etc. Administered by the Golden Energy Computing Organization (GECO), the facility promotes activities which cross disciplinary lines and fosters links between education, scientific inquiry, and industrial pursuits covering a broad spectrum of energy-related research.Broader Impact: The GECO cluster positively impacts national efforts to discover and develop new sources of energy enabling a critical aspect of HPC education, implementation of a training program in HPC maintenance. Furthermore, the institution has established a multi-faceted outreach program involving a college mainly serving Native Americans, Salish Kootenai, on Flathead Indian Reservation. Special training and research opportunities will also be made available to women engineers.
