SCREMS: Parallel Computing for Interdisciplinary Research in Mathematics and Statistics

马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校（UMBC）目前正在创建一个全校范围的、共享的、跨学科的高性能计算设施，最初购买了一个分布式内存集群，其中有33个计算节点，通过最先进的低延迟InfiniBand互连连接。在接下来的几年里，园区的目标是每年购买32个新的计算节点，以创建一个128个节点的集群。最初的购买是由机构种子基金和个别教师和几个部门的捐款共同资助的。该奖项为数学和统计系的这些研究人员提供资金，用于为该设施提供16个计算节点，总额为80,000美元。

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) is presently creating a campus-wide, shared, interdisciplinary facility for high-performance computing with the initial purchase of a distributed-memory cluster with 33 compute nodes connected by a state-of-the-art low-latency InfiniBand interconnect. In following years, the campus aims to purchase 32 new compute nodes annually to create a 128-node cluster. The initial purchase was jointly funded by institutional seed money and contributions from individual faculty and several departments. This award provides funding to be used by these researchers from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics to contribute money for 16 compute nodes to this facility for a total of $80,000.
