CC* Compute: SIUE Campus Cluster

该项目的目标是增强南伊利诺伊大学爱德华兹维尔分校的高性能计算资源，以支持各种研究和教育活动。 具体而言，当前的园区设施不提供足够的GPU或存储资源，以支持处理大型数据集。 此外，SIUE校园IT员工的参与增加了支持网络基础设施资源的经验，以更好地支持教师，学生和合作者。该硬件直接支持正在进行的项目和教学活动，其中包括：使用机器学习模型来预测复杂的表型性状，开发高阶精确的数值方法来解决由双曲型偏微分方程控制的问题，了解化学反应，药物相互作用和网络安全中量子现象背后的机制。 其他活动包括将高性能计算纳入课堂练习和课程的教师外展。致力于通过开放科学网格（OSG）共享此计算环境和其他合作努力提高了SIUE社区对其他共享资源的认识和采用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

The goal of this project is to enhance high performance computing resources at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to support a variety of research and education activities. Specifically, current campus facilities do not provide sufficient GPU or storage resources needed to enable work with large data sets. Additionally, SIUE campus IT staff participation increases experience supporting cyberinfrastructure resources to better support faculty, students, and collaborators.This hardware directly supports ongoing projects and teaching activities which include: the use of machine learning models to predict complex phenotypic traits, development of high order accurate numerical methods for problems governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations, understanding the mechanism behind the quantum phenomenon in chemical reactions, drug interactions, and cybersecurity. Additional activities include faculty outreach in incorporation of high-performance computing into classroom exercises and curriculum.Commitment to sharing this computing environment through the Open Science Grid (OSG) and other collaborative efforts increases awareness and adoption of other shared resources by the SIUE community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
