The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The Center for Research Computing (CRC) at the University of Notre Dame is providing a setting for the REU student to become familiar with interdisciplinary computational research. CRC provides access to research groups working across a diverse range of computational problems including (a)Modeling highly complex blood clotting processes to advance the understanding and treatment of heart disease, strokes and hemophilia, (b) Using molecular simulation to develop a fundamental understanding of the link between the physical properties of materials and their chemical constitution, (c) Discovering planets outside the solar system to help further astrophysicists? study of star and planet formation, (d) Creating computational models of coastal ocean hydrodynamics that can be applied to real-world problems, from dealing with coastal flooding due to hurricanes to helping map currents for shipping operations, dredging and harbor design. The students are learning how to use the most current cyberinfrastructure tools and receiving training on fundamental scientific computing skills and techniques. In addition, REU students are exposed to international scientific collaborations active at the CRC. The program will involve 10 students every summer, and each will spend 10 weeks at the University of Notre Dame. In addition the CRC funds 3 international students from its collaborating institutions abroad.Intellectual merit is grounded in four core areas of expertise: multiscale computations in engineering and science, interdisciplinary molecular modeling and simulation, validation and verification, and cyberinfrastructure development.Broader impacts include the critical advancement of education in computational science as identified in the Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee report and development of the nation?s future scientists with immediate impact both at their home institutions and nationally.

该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。圣母大学的研究计算中心(CRC)为REU的学生提供了一个熟悉跨学科计算研究的环境。CRC为研究小组提供了解决各种计算问题的途径，包括：(A)对高度复杂的血液凝固过程进行建模，以促进对心脏病、中风和血友病的理解和治疗；(B)利用分子模拟对材料的物理性质与其化学成分之间的联系进行基本了解；(C)发现太阳系以外的行星，以帮助进一步的天体物理学家？研究恒星和行星的形成；(D)建立可用于现实世界问题的沿海海洋流体力学计算模型，从处理飓风造成的沿海洪水，到帮助绘制用于航运作业、疏浚和港口设计的海流图。学生们正在学习如何使用最新的网络基础设施工具，并接受基本科学计算技能和技术的培训。此外，REU的学生还可以接触到活跃在CRC的国际科学合作。该项目每年夏天将有10名学生参加，每人将在圣母大学学习10周。此外，CRC还资助了3名来自海外合作机构的国际学生。智力优势基于四个核心专业领域：工程和科学的多尺度计算、跨学科分子建模和模拟、验证和验证以及网络基础设施开发。广泛的影响包括总统信息技术咨询委员会报告中确定的计算科学教育的关键进展和国家的发展？S未来的科学家将对国内机构和国家产生直接影响。
