Proposal #: CNS 09-23050PI(s): Jones, Jim; Jacher, Steven M.; Wang, Ke-Gang; Zhang, Ming Institution: Florida Institute of Technology Melbourne, FL 32901-6975Title: MRI/Acq.: Acq. of a Computational Science and Engineering Parallel ClusterProject Proposed:This project, acquiring a new computational science and engineering cluster, seeks to provide the faculty and students regular access to a modern, on-campus parallel computer for their research. Servicing Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Physics and Space Science, Marine and Environmental Engineering, Oceanography, and Mathematical Sciences, the project aims to continue conducting research involving parallel computing in a wide variety of disciplines. Due to its age, an existing Beowulf Cluster acquired in 2001 has proved insufficient to conduct the current research and more powerful computing resources are sought. The proposed instrument consists of a 48 node cluster where each node has 2 quad-core 2 GHz CPUs. The computing power of this machine will enable the large-scale simulations needed in the application areas of ocean modeling, space weather, and material science. In these areas researchers have simulation codes, but need increased computing power to do the required runs. The new machine is expected to allow greater fidelity simulation on important application, such as the impact of space radiations on astronauts and electronic components on satellites. Other applications need the increased computing power and are beginning to parallelize their codes.Broader Impacts: This project contributes to increase on-campus access for students to develop their parallel programming skills. Building on past experience, careers in high performance and parallel computing will be encouraged. The students will be trained more in depth in the area and Parallel Computing will continue to be part of research at the institution.

提案编号：CNS09-23050PI(S)：琼斯，吉姆；贾彻，史蒂文·M；王克刚；张明研究所：佛罗里达理工学院墨尔本，FL 32901-6975标题：核磁共振/访问：Acq.一个计算科学和工程并行集群项目的建议：这个项目，获得一个新的计算科学和工程集群，旨在为教师和学生提供定期访问现代校园并行计算机进行研究的机会。该项目服务于机械和航空航天工程、物理和空间科学、海洋和环境工程、海洋学和数学科学，旨在继续在各种学科中进行涉及并行计算的研究。由于年代久远，2001年收购的现有Beowulf集群已被证明不足以进行当前的研究，因此需要更强大的计算资源。该仪器由一个48节点的集群组成，每个节点有2个四核2 GHz CPU。这台机器的计算能力将使海洋建模、空间气象和材料科学应用领域所需的大规模模拟成为可能。在这些领域，研究人员有模拟代码，但需要增加计算能力来完成所需的运行。预计这台新机器将允许对重要应用进行更逼真的模拟，例如空间辐射对宇航员的影响和卫星上的电子元件。其他应用程序需要增加计算能力，并开始将其代码并行化。广泛的影响：该项目有助于增加学生在校园内的访问，以发展他们的并行编程技能。根据过去的经验，将鼓励从事高性能和并行计算的职业。学生们将在该领域接受更深入的培训，并行计算将继续是该机构研究的一部分。
