Super instruction architecture for petascale computing.

这一建议是为将于2011年投入使用的“蓝水”计算机系统临时分配时间，并为支持与“蓝水”项目小组的技术协调提供旅费。该项目将利用Blue Waters研究量子化学和生物化学中的一些主题，包括质子化水簇的结构和行为、氨基酸的构象能和视紫红质的光异构化。视紫红质的研究对理解视觉的化学过程具有重要意义，在分子电子学领域也有潜在的应用前景。该项目将为在一系列学科中创建领域特定语言提供一种方法，为科学研究提供一种有效地生成可扩展的并行软件的机制。

This proposal is for a provisional allocation of time on the Blue Waters computer system, due to become operational in 2011, and for travel funds to support technical coordination with the Blue Waters project team.The project will use Blue Waters to investigate a number of topics in quantum chemistry and biochemistry including, the structure and behavior of protonated water clusters, the conformational energy of amino acids, and the photoisomerization of rhodopsin. The work on rhodopsin is important for understanding one of the chemical processes involved in vision and will also have potential application in the field of molecular electronics.The project will provide a methodology for the creation of domain-specific languages in a range of disciplines, providing a mechanism to efficiently generate scalable, parallel software for scientific research.
