This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). Faculty across the College of Science and Mathematics (CSAM) of Montclair State University are pursuing computationally intensive research programs that, together, comprise a diverse array of applications: stochastic metapopulation disease models, leading to improved outbreak prediction and vaccination policies; functional genomics of the maize genome, essential for researchers to fully exploit the maize genome sequence; liquid atomization modeling, leading to new control strategies for specifying droplet size (a need in many industrial processes); magnetic fluid dynamics modeling, leading to improved models of magnetically-driven and directed flows relevant to applications in biomedicine and providing a valuable simulation tool for systems in which experimental observations are difficult and expensive; imaging by inverse scattering, leading to better models for acoustic and elastic wave propagation and tools for imaging structures in the Earth; simulations of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam systems, leading to new examination of the physically fundamental and mathematically rich dynamics nonlinear multicomponent systems; feature extraction in financial data series, leading to fast, accurate algorithms for sophisticated, real-time analysis of large data sets, including rapidly evolving financial data series. The HPC cluster acquired by CSAM is well-suited to the computational tasks for each of these investigations and will enable a transformative increase in the scale and complexity of computations undertaken in support of each research project.The expansion of research enabled by access to high-performance computing will, in turn, enable the investigators to expand opportunities for student research in leading-edge computational science, in a broad range of disciplines. Undergraduate and Masters? student research opportunities that make use of the HPC facility will provide the highly diverse CSAM student population (including many who are members of groups underrepresented in STEM disciplines) critical computational and mathematical skills, valuable in preparing these students for advanced study and careers in STEM fields that are well represented among New Jersey academic and industrial institutions.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。蒙特克莱尔州立大学科学与数学学院的教师们正在开展计算密集型研究项目，这些项目共同构成了一系列不同的应用：随机集合种群疾病模型，从而改进了疫情预测和疫苗接种政策;玉米基因组的功能基因组学，这对研究人员充分利用玉米基因组序列至关重要;液体雾化建模，导致新的控制策略，指定液滴大小（许多工业过程中的需要）;磁流体动力学建模，从而改进了磁-与生物医学应用相关的驱动和定向流，并为难以进行实验观察的系统提供了有价值的模拟工具贵，通过逆散射成像，导致更好的模型，声波和弹性波传播和工具，成像结构在地球上;费米-帕斯塔-乌拉姆系统的模拟，导致新的检查的物理基础和数学丰富的动态非线性多组分系统;金融数据系列中的特征提取，导致快速，准确的算法，用于大型数据集的复杂，实时分析，包括快速演变的金融数据系列。CSAM收购的HPC集群非常适合这些研究的计算任务，并将使支持每个研究项目的计算规模和复杂性发生变革性增长。通过获得高性能计算实现的研究扩展反过来将使研究人员能够扩大学生在前沿计算科学方面的研究机会，在广泛的学科。本科和硕士？利用HPC设施的学生研究机会将为高度多样化的CSAM学生群体（包括许多在STEM学科中代表性不足的群体成员）提供关键的计算和数学技能，这些技能对于为这些学生在新泽西学术和工业机构中代表性很强的STEM领域的高级学习和职业生涯做好准备很有价值。
