The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the University of Utah (U Utah) are pursuing a Phase II renewal of the multi-institution I/UCRC for Hybrid Multicore Productivity Research (CHMPR). CHMPR, in Phase II, plans to focus on problems of national priority such as Big Data Analytics for Health IT, Climate Change, Brain and Pluripotent Cell Imaging, Material Genomics and the Human Imagination. It will conduct research to optimize the scalability, performance and productivity of applications to Interactive Digital Media and Data Intensive Parallel Computing Paradigms which are all of direct relevance to industry advisory board members on hybrid multicore clusters. CHMPR will contribute towards development of efficient hybrid multicore computational science applications. It will improve the understanding of constrained parallel processing algorithms, and provide academic researchers access to large hybrid multicore systems to address the challenges in obtaining peak performance of applications on these architectures. CHMPR will further assist in addressing these challenges by providing fundamental understanding of the numerical formulation, structure of the applications and the ability to map known single threaded algorithms from multiple processors onto the underlying hybrid multicore architectures under limitations on local processor memory, and cache. The combined computing facilities at UMBC, UCSD and U Utah respectively, will offer industry advisory board members access to university testbeds consisting of some of the most advanced and diverse computing technologies and Big Data sets in Health and Climate. There is a large demand to explore the application and scalability of such hybrid multicore architectures.CHMPR will provide faculty and students the opportunity to gain hands-on research expertise in a wide variety of hybrid multicore applications in areas of Health, Climate Change, Biomedical Informatics, 3-D Graphic Environments and the use of Social Media for Disaster mitigation. By addressing the future needs of industry advisory board members as the computer industry evolves its hybrid multicore processor technology, the center will contribute towards US leadership in HPC. CHMPR sites will incorporate hybrid multicore computing into their core course curricula for students to address the industry applications. The students will also have the opportunity for internships with industry and the center will educate students how to take advantage of the parallelism offered by tens of thousands of multicore processors to solve a variety of applications.

马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校（UMBC）、加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）和犹他大学（U Utah）正在进行多机构I/UCRC混合多核生产力研究（CHMPR）的二期更新。CHMPR二期计划重点研究健康信息技术大数据分析、气候变化、大脑和多能细胞成像、材料基因组学和人类想象力等国家重点问题。它将进行研究，以优化交互式数字媒体和数据密集型并行计算范式的应用程序的可扩展性，性能和生产力，这些都与混合多核集群的行业咨询委员会成员直接相关。CHMPR将有助于开发高效的混合多核计算科学应用。它将提高对约束并行处理算法的理解，并为学术研究人员提供访问大型混合多核系统的途径，以解决在这些体系结构上获得应用程序峰值性能的挑战。CHMPR将通过提供对数值公式、应用程序结构的基本理解，以及在本地处理器内存和缓存限制下将已知的单线程算法从多处理器映射到底层混合多核架构的能力，进一步帮助解决这些挑战。UMBC、UCSD和犹他大学的联合计算设施将为行业顾问委员会成员提供大学测试平台，包括一些最先进和多样化的计算技术以及健康和气候方面的大数据集。探索这种混合多核架构的应用和可扩展性是一个很大的需求。CHMPR将为教师和学生提供机会，在健康、气候变化、生物医学信息学、3-D图形环境和使用社交媒体进行减灾等领域的各种混合多核应用中获得实践研究专业知识。随着计算机行业发展其混合多核处理器技术，通过解决行业咨询委员会成员的未来需求，该中心将为美国在高性能计算领域的领导地位做出贡献。CHMPR站点将把混合多核计算纳入其核心课程，以供学生解决工业应用问题。学生们还将有机会在工业界实习，该中心将教育学生如何利用数以万计的多核处理器提供的并行性来解决各种应用。
