项目摘要

Rhodes College is building and deploying a high-performance computing cluster that serves as the cornerstone of a campus-wide research computing center. This project establishes a needed computing resource that enables new capabilities for researchers and students in computer science, biology, mathematics, chemistry, and economics. The cluster provides a new computing resource at a scale not previously available on campus and advances the institutions' ability to support research, including analyzing mitochondrial DNA, modeling inorganic compounds, and improving the performance and usability of parallel and distributed systems. As a research-intensive liberal arts college, this cluster system at Rhodes College dramatically advances the opportunities for students to be engaged in computation-based scientific research alongside researchers in a wide range of disciplines. This cluster system also functions as a platform for classroom experiences that help students understand how computational methods can be used to better understand the world. The system supports class activities in computer science, biology, and mathematics. Additionally, this project enables researchers to prepare their experiments to run on national compute resources through XSEDE and will also contribute unused computing resources to the Open Science Grid, a national, distributed computing partnership.The cluster system supports both high-performance and high-throughput workloads with an overall system capacity of 1,584 cores, 9TB of memory, and 504 TB of storage. The cluster is comprised of a login server, storage server, 44 compute nodes, and a 100Gbit/s InfiniBand interconnect network.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.

罗兹学院正在建设和部署一个高性能计算集群，作为校园范围内的研究计算中心的基石。该项目建立了所需的计算资源，为计算机科学，生物学，数学，化学和经济学的研究人员和学生提供新的能力。该集群提供了一种新的计算资源，其规模在校园中前所未有，并提高了机构支持研究的能力，包括分析线粒体DNA，建模无机化合物，以及提高并行和分布式系统的性能和可用性。作为一所研究密集型的文科大学，罗兹学院的这一集群系统大大提高了学生与广泛学科的研究人员一起从事基于计算的科学研究的机会。这个集群系统还可以作为课堂体验的平台，帮助学生了解如何使用计算方法来更好地理解世界。该系统支持计算机科学，生物学和数学的课堂活动。此外，该项目还将使研究人员能够通过XSEDE准备在国家计算资源上运行的实验，并将向国家分布式计算合作伙伴Open Science Grid贡献未使用的计算资源。该集群系统支持高性能和高吞吐量工作负载，系统总容量为1，584个核心，9 TB内存和504 TB存储。该集群由一个登录服务器、存储服务器、44个计算节点和一个100 Gbit/s的InfiniBand互连网络组成。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
