This award is co-funded by EPSCoR program.This MRI project is to acquire a petascale data storage system to add to the existing high-performance computing (HPC) systems at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). The projects concern analysis of medical images, cosmological simulations, social network analyses and protein structure prediction. A number of well-developed broadening participation activities in education and research are proposed.The project augments existing high performance computing capabilities, includes projects in different disciplines to be facilitated by cyber upgrades, provides integration of research and education through training opportunities for students at all levels, and has a potential for broadening participation and development of a diverse scientific workforce.

该项目是由EPSCoR计划共同资助的。该MRI项目旨在获得一个千万亿次数据存储系统，以添加到位于小石城的阿肯色州大学（UALR）现有的高性能计算（HPC）系统中。这些项目涉及医学图像分析、宇宙学模拟、社会网络分析和蛋白质结构预测。该项目增强了现有的高性能计算能力，包括通过网络升级促进的不同学科的项目，通过为各级学生提供培训机会，将研究和教育结合起来，并有可能扩大参与和发展多样化的科学工作队伍。
