项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests $10M to renovate infrastructure serving an existing 5,000 square foot central data center to provide a new Core Research Computing Facility (CRCF) that will consolidate computational resources and improve data storage options for over 25 NIH funded research groups. Researchers today commonly employ complex computational modeling, simulation and analyses to improve research productivity. The increase in data available from both the creation of instruments such as newer "Ultra Deep" genome sequencing machines and the efforts of researchers to develop shared data repositories also fuel the need for computational resources Our aim is to upgrade our existing 1960's Data Center to create a Core Research Computing Facility for biomedical and behavioral research computing needs. Immediately, the CRCF would (a) fulfill the research computing needs of the laboratories of 21 interdisciplinary principal investigators exploring biomedical research questions in Columbia's new Northwest Corner Science Building (NWC) starting Winter 2010, (b) consolidate existing core facilities including those of the Social Sciences Computing Cluster (SSCC), and (c) ensure the future of three pilot clusters in the current Data Center that serve NIH-funded researchers from Biology, Electrical Engineering and Statistics, one of which is the shared cluster that could serve as a nucleus for expansion for NIH-funded researchers. Funds received from the NIH and a matching $1M grant from New York State will be used specifically to (1) upgrade the power in order to expand capacity to consolidate physically dispersed computer clusters into a single, more efficient and green facility; (2) double the capacity of a pilot shared HPC research cluster in order to accommodate new researchers through a matching grant from New York State and; (3) establish a pilot professionally administered data storage option for research, also to be funded by a New York State matching grant. The creation of the CRCF will put the research computing load for NIH-funded researchers into a professionally managed reliable core facility and enable increased resource sharing for biomedical and behavioral research computing needs. It will conserve the valuable space of the new Northwest Corner Science building for laboratory experimentation, instead of a data center for the building, as well as free up valuable wet lab and office space, power and cooling in the existing science buildings on our space- constrained urban campus.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案要求1000万美元用于翻新现有5，000平方英尺中央数据中心的基础设施，以提供新的核心研究计算设施（CRCF），该设施将整合计算资源并为超过25个NIH资助的研究小组改进数据存储选项。今天的研究人员通常采用复杂的计算建模，模拟和分析，以提高研究生产力。从两个工具，如较新的“超深”基因组测序机和研究人员的努力，以开发共享的数据存储库的创建可用的数据的增加也燃料的计算资源的需要我们的目标是升级我们现有的20世纪60年代的数据中心，以创建一个核心研究计算设施的生物医学和行为研究计算的需要。立即，CRCF将（a）满足21个跨学科主要研究者的实验室的研究计算需求，这些研究者将从2010年冬季开始在哥伦比亚新的西北角科学大楼（NWC）探索生物医学研究问题，（B）巩固现有的核心设施，包括社会科学计算集群（SSCC）的设施，以及（c）确保当前数据中心的三个试点集群的未来，这些集群为NIH资助的生物学、电气工程和统计学研究人员提供服务，其中一个是共享集群，可以作为NIH资助研究人员扩展的核心。从美国国立卫生研究院获得的资金和纽约州提供的100万美元的配套赠款将专门用于：（1）升级电源，以扩大容量，将物理上分散的计算机集群整合成一个单一的、更高效的绿色设施;（2）通过纽约州提供的配套赠款，将试点共享HPC研究集群的容量增加一倍，以容纳新的研究人员;（3）建立一个试验性的专业管理的数据存储选项，用于研究，也将由纽约州的匹配赠款提供资金。CRCF的建立将把NIH资助的研究人员的研究计算负荷放到一个专业管理的可靠核心设施中，并为生物医学和行为研究计算需求增加资源共享。它将节省新的西北角科学大楼的宝贵空间用于实验室实验，而不是该大楼的数据中心，以及释放宝贵的湿实验室和办公空间，电力和冷却在现有的科学大楼在我们的空间有限的城市校园。
