Computationally intensive methods are crucial to modern statistical research and applications. Faculty and graduate students in Statistics and Biostatistics at the University of Toronto currently use a computer system purchased using previous NSERC grants. Our graduate student enrollment has recently increased, putting increased demands on this system. The nature of recent scientific advances, particularly in biology, also places increasing emphasis on large data sets and intensive computations.

计算密集型方法对现代统计研究和应用至关重要。 多伦多大学统计学和生物统计学系的教师和研究生目前使用的是使用以前的NSERC赠款购买的计算机系统。 我们的研究生招生最近增加了，对这个系统提出了更高的要求。 最近科学进步的性质，特别是在生物学方面，也越来越强调大型数据集和密集计算。
