Ember: a critical science and engineering enabling SMP resource

1012087 TownsFunding为UIUC的新共享内存资源EMBER提供资金。 新机器将成为TeraGrid/XD机器“家族”的一部分。 该资源对于实现许多电子结构计算以及流体动力学计算至关重要。 在所有这些情况下，大型共享内存系统是至关重要的。 此外，新系统将允许在OpenMP中进行更大规模的计算实验，并为希望学习并行编程的学生提供了一个很好的入口。

1012087TownsFunding is provided for the new shared memory resource EMBER at UIUC. The new machine will be part of the TeraGrid/XD "family" of machines. This resource is essential to enabling many electronic structure calculations as well as computations in fluid dynamics. In all these cases, a large shared memory system is critical. In addition, the new system will allow larger scale computational experiments in OpenMP and provides an excellent entree for students desiring to learn parallel programming.
