Introduction Of High Performance Computing Across the Science and Mathematics Curriculum

9351140 Runquist为了改善科学(生物、化学、数学和物理)的实验室教学，哈姆莱恩大学将增加具有图形能力的高端工作站，以支持正在进行的科学课程改革。这些系统将被引入所有四个科学系的入门和高级实验室课程以及本科生研究计划。哈姆林大学启动了一项分三个阶段的计划，将高性能计算(HPC)引入本科理科课程。在由哈姆林大学提供全部资金的第一阶段，购买了8台Sun工作站和1台服务器，并连接到互联网，启动了一项理科教师培训计划，并正在开发高性能计算教学模块。在第二阶段，将扩大硬件和软件储备，引入、测试、改进和扩大教学模块，开发与远程机构合作的教职员工和学生HPC支持的研究方案，设计以HPC为重点的科学课程，并进一步修改课程内容和教学方法，以纳入HPC。在第三阶段，将设计和建造一座以高性能计算课程为建筑主题的新科学大楼，并将高性能计算应用扩展到社会科学领域。从这项计划中获得的经验将使Hamline成为一个地区性HPC/科学课程资源中心。

9351140 Runquist To improve laboratory instruction in the sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics), Hamline University will add high-end workstations with capacity for graphics to support on- going curriculum reform across the sciences. These systems will be introduced into both introductory and advanced laboratory courses and undergraduate research programs of all four science departments. Hamline University has initiated a three-stage plan for introducing high performance computing (HPC) into the undergraduate science curriculum. During Stage 1, which is underway and financed entirely by Hamline University, eight Sun workstations and one server were purchased and connected to Internet, a science faculty training program was initiated, and HPC teaching modules are being developed. During Stage 2, hardware and software holdings will be expanded, teaching modules will be introduced, tested, refined and expanded, cooperative faculty and student HPC-supported research programs with remote institutions will be developed, an HPC-focused science curriculum will be designed, and course content and teaching methodologies will be further modified to incorporate HPC. This proposal requests funds to support Stage 2. During Stage 3, a new science building with an HPC-focused curriculum as its architectural theme will be designed and constructed, and HPC use will be expanded into social science fields. Experiences gained from this program will enable Hamline to serve as a regional HPC/science curriculum resource center.
