This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This project involves the building of a high-performance computing and data storage infrastructure at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIHPSI - Southern Illinois HPC Infrastructure), a facility first-of-its-kind not only within the campus but in the greater Southern Illinois region also. Intellectual Merit: Research activities using SIHCPI encompass two broad areas - (1) Computational Nanoscience and Engineering (CNE): Examples include multimillion atom simulations of nanodevices, design of molecular catalysts, studies of polymer morphology at interfaces, fundamental studies of the driving mechanisms in non-equilibrium states of matter, and quantum information processing exploring new properties of atomic nuclei; and (2) Geographic Information Science (GIS): Involves strategic research to investigate new algorithms for representation and transformation of massive dynamic data allowing a cognitive and visual interpretation for analysts by exploiting invariant geometric properties. SIHPSI serves as a nucleation center for further addition of HPC resources and offers SIUC?s faculty members a much quicker time frame (1-2 weeks) to start computing as compared to a custom cluster configuration which usually takes about 6 months from start to production. Broader Impact: Research in the CNE area is expected to have significant impact in a wide range of technological applications including low-power and fast transistors, coatings, lithography, adhesives to light emitting diodes and sensors, various smart and functionalized materials, and quantum computation. The GIS research facilitates efficient data streaming, crime and health studies, medical imaging, and genome mapping. SIHPSI has an educational interface that supports ? (1) revamping several courses in the area of scientific modeling and numerical analysis; (2) developing a new course on computational nanoelectronics; and (3) training (through summer workshops) a diverse community of college teachers as well as K-12 students in the field of scientific computing and data analysis. Materials/modules developed in the teaching/training activities will be posted on NSF?s nanoHUB.org for use by the broader community.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国复苏与重新投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。本项目涉及在伊利诺伊州南部卡宾代尔（Sihpsi-Sihpsi-伊利诺伊州南部伊利诺伊州HPC基础设施）建立高性能计算和数据存储基础设施，不仅是在南方地区的设施，不仅在campus内部，因此Intellectual Merit: Research activities using SIHCPI encompass two broad areas - (1) Computational Nanoscience and Engineering (CNE): Examples include multimillion atom simulations of nanodevices, design of molecular catalysts, studies of polymer morphology at interfaces, fundamental studies of the driving mechanisms in non-equilibrium states of matter, and quantum information processing exploring new properties of atomic nuclei; （2）地理信息科学（GIS）：涉及战略研究，以研究用于代表和转化大规模动态数据的新算法，从而通过利用不变的几何特性来为分析师提供认知和视觉解释。 Sihpsi是进一步添加HPC资源的成核中心，并为SIUC的教职员工提供了更快的时间范围（1-2周），与自定义的群集配置相比，从开始到生产通常需要6个月，就可以开始计算计算。更广泛的影响：预计CNE区域的研究将在广泛的技术应用中产生重大影响，包括低功率和快速晶体管，涂料，光刻，光刻，发光二极管和传感器的粘合剂，各种智能和功能化的材料以及量子计算。 GIS研究促进了有效的数据流，犯罪和健康研究，医学成像和基因组映射。 Sihpsi具有支持的教育界面？ （1）在科学建模和数值分析领域修改几门课程； （2）开发有关计算纳米电子学的新课程； （3）培训（通过夏季研讨会）是一个多元化的大学教师社区以及科学计算和数据分析领域的K-12学生。教学/培训活动中开发的材料/模块将发布在NSF？s nanohub.org上，以供更广泛的社区使用。
