This institutional infrastructure project will build on two previous CRI grants in order to significantly enhance the current shared high performance computing infrastructure in order to keep up with rapidly increasing research demands. The resulting world-class computing facilities will be shared with all Computer Science (CS) faculty researchers, Binghamton collaborators, external collaborators, and students. Specifically, the requested infrastructure consists of high-end PowerEdge Blade servers along with a robust and high performance storage subsystem. These systems address the computational and storage needs common to research projects in microarchitectural-level power and performance assessment tool design, data center energy optimization techniques, parallel discrete event simulation, multimedia senor networks, Grid and cloud scheduling, data reduction of scientific datasets, large scale web database integration systems projects, virtualization, real-time data services, and I/O intensive simulation projects.The resulting world-class computing facilities will benefit students, faculty, and collaborators. It will be used to enhance a wide variety of courses, and the project includes a coordinated education and research program that enhances the department's instruction and student training efforts. Results will be disseminated to a wide audience through research publications and also on a Web page devoted to the project to advertise how the facility is being used.The CS Department where the equipment is housed is committed to increasing the enrollment of women and students from traditionally underrepresented groups, and its involvement of undergraduates in research (as evidenced, e.g., by a current CISE REU Site). This equipment will help the department to advance these efforts by driving research that will be attractive to the best students from these groups.

这一机构基础设施项目将建立在前两笔CRI赠款的基础上，以便大大加强目前共享的高性能计算基础设施，以跟上迅速增长的研究需求。由此产生的世界级计算设施将与所有计算机科学(CS)教师研究人员、宾厄姆顿合作者、外部合作者和学生共享。具体地说，所需的基础架构包括高端PowerEdge刀片式服务器以及强大且高性能的存储子系统。这些系统解决了微体系结构级电源和性能评估工具设计、数据中心能量优化技术、并行离散事件模拟、多媒体传感器网络、网格和云调度、科学数据集的数据缩减、大型网络数据库集成系统项目、虚拟化、实时数据服务和I/O密集型模拟项目等研究项目常见的计算和存储需求。由此产生的世界级计算设施将使学生、教师和合作者受益。它将用于加强各种课程，该项目包括一个协调的教育和研究计划，以加强系的指导和学生培训努力。结果将通过研究出版物和专门用于该项目的网页向广大受众传播，以宣传该设施的使用情况。设备所在的CS部门致力于增加传统上代表人数较少的群体的妇女和学生的入学人数，并让本科生参与研究(例如，目前的CEE REU网站就证明了这一点)。这种设备将通过推动对这些群体中最优秀的学生具有吸引力的研究来帮助系推进这些努力。
