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. We will develop and demonstrate TeraGrid enabled computational models of epidemics. The project will allow models developed under MIDAS to be mapped onto massively parallel and distributed computing platforms such as the TeraGrid. In an earlier proposal, as a part of the NIH sponsored MIDAS program, we used TeraGrid facilities to support a DHHS defined policy study to prepare for pandemics. The MIDAS program has been tasked to develop national scale modeling tools for pandemic preparedness. EpiSims, one of three modeling systems being used as a part of the MIDAS program, is a highly scalable distributed epidemiological simulation system. An important question in developing these models is the required level of resolution and detail. This study offers the opportunity to explore both the usefulness of very detailed, very large models and the appropriateness of grid computing for models of this kind.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 我们将开发和演示TeraGrid支持的流行病计算模型。该项目将允许在MIDAS下开发的模型映射到大规模并行和分布式计算平台，如TeraGrid。在早期的提案中，作为NIH赞助的MIDAS计划的一部分，我们使用TeraGrid设施来支持DHHS定义的政策研究，为流行病做准备。MIDAS计划的任务是为大流行的准备工作开发国家规模的建模工具。EpiSims是MIDAS项目的三个建模系统之一，是一个高度可扩展的分布式流行病学模拟系统。开发这些模型的一个重要问题是所需的分辨率和细节水平。这项研究提供了一个机会，探讨非常详细，非常大的模型和网格计算的这种模型的适当性的有用性。
