NDSU COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY ANDBIOLOGY CORE

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。CCBN在北达科他州完成了其为生物医学研究服务的第二年。使用数据的统计数据是从NDSU的一个Silicon Graphics Origin 300服务器和六个SGI Fuel工作站收集的。尽管2004年的使用率有所下降，但CCBN仍被大量使用；部分原因可能是在报告期内，一些用户迁移到校园内建立的高性能计算集群（不是CCBN的一部分）。2003-04 CCBN使用情况比较NDSU工作网络CPU最小服务器CPU最小工作网络会话服务器数据2003 963,723 3,518,158 11,354 4,450 2004 761,438 1,113,618 10,608 4,784 %变化-21.0% -68.3% -6.6% 7.5% CCBN的一个高优先级目标是整合到NDSU的机构设施中。这是通过将设备转换为NDSU高性能计算中心所使用的LINUX平台来实现的。两个SGI工作站被LINUX盒子取代，LINUX版本的Tripos和Accelrys分子建模软件已成功测试。NDSU有三个主要的用户群和三个出版物，都引用了BRIN。在向全州的研究人员提供CCBN等资源方面取得的进展表明，两名INBRE在PUIs的研究人员将在他们的研究项目中利用该网络。目前正在对CCBN进行更深入的评估，分析使用数据并计划与网络用户进行访谈，以更好地了解使用模式、需求和满意度。用户还将被要求在创建和实施支持该网络的费用结构之前提供输入。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The CCBN completed its second full year of service to biomedical research in North Dakota. Statistics on usage data are collected from one Silicon Graphics Origin 300 server and six SGI Fuel workstations at NDSU. The CCBN continues to be used heavily despite decreases in use for 2004; some of this might be attributable to the migration of some users to high performance computing clusters (not part of CCBN) which were established on the campus during the reporting period. 2003-04 CCBN Usage Comparison NDSU Workstn CPU Min Server CPU Min Workstn Sessions Server Sess 2003 963,723 3,518,158 11,354 4,450 2004 761,438 1,113,618 10,608 4,784 %change -21.0% -68.3% -6.6% 7.5% A high priority objective for the CCBN is to be integrated into institutional facilities at NDSU. This is occurring through the conversion of equipment to a LINUX platform being utilized by the NDSU Center for High Performance Computing. Two SGI workstations were replaced by LINUX boxes and LINUX versions of Tripos and Accelrys molecular modeling software have been successfully tested. There are three primary user groups at NDSU with three publications, all citing BRIN. Progress in providing resources such as the CCBN to researchers across the state is shown by the fact that two INBRE investigators at PUIs will be utilizing the network in their research projects. More in-depth evaluation of the CCBN is currently underway, analyzing usage data and planning interviews with users of the network to get a better understanding of usage patterns, needs and satisfaction. Users will also be asked to provide input prior to the creation and implementation of a fee structure to support the network.
