Proposal #: 12-29766PI(s): Alves-Foss, Jim; Barannyk, Lyudmyla L; Potirniche, Gabriel P; Xing, Tao; Ytreberg, Frederick M;Institution: University of IdahoTitle: MRI/Acq.: Adaptive Computation Server for Support of STEM Research at Univ. of IdahoProject Proposed:This project from an EPSCoR state, acquiring an "adaptive computational server" with 80 CPUs, 2 TB RAM, and 9.6 TB disk, enables a variety of research projects in the areas of computational fluid and molecular dynamics, with applications in ecology, energy systems, hydraulics, and protein structures. An effort is also starting out in computer security modeling. The proposed instrument supports up to 40 separate concurrent experiments/simulations each with 2 processor cores and 50 GB of memory, parallel computation across any number of processor cores. It is expected to manage large-scale simulations across hundreds (potentially up to thousands) of virtual machines each running small portions of a parallel algorithm.Broader Impacts: The proposal carries potential for strong broader impacts, as the acquisition will be widely used across many disciplines and colleges due to the intrinsic flexibility of this instrument and the lack of existing resources. Proposed is a good educational and outreach plan.

提案#：12-29766PI(S)：Alves-Foss，Jim；Barannyk，Lyudmyla L；PotirNiche，Gabriel P；Xing，Taao；Ytreberg，Frederick M；机构：爱达荷州大学标题：磁共振成像/Acq.：支持大学STEM研究的自适应计算服务器。IdahoProject的建议：这个项目从EPSCoR状态获得一个具有80个CPU、2 TB RAM和9.6 TB磁盘的“自适应计算服务器”，支持计算流体和分子动力学领域的各种研究项目，并应用于生态学、能源系统、水力学和蛋白质结构。在计算机安全建模方面也开始了一项努力。该仪器支持多达40个独立的并发实验/模拟，每个实验/模拟具有2个处理器核心和50 GB内存，跨任意数量的处理器核心进行并行计算。预计它将管理数百台(可能多达数千台)运行一小部分并行算法的虚拟机的大规模模拟。布罗德影响：该提议具有强大而广泛的影响，因为由于该工具固有的灵活性和现有资源的缺乏，收购将广泛应用于许多学科和学院。提出了一个良好的教育和外展计划。
