The Rhode Island Network for Computational Chemistry and Physics

该奖项由化学研究仪器和设施 （CRIF）计划和学术研究基础设施（ARI）计划 将协助布朗大学化学系获得 提升现有电脑网络的电脑系统。本设备 将加强以下几个领域的研究：（1） 金属中氢的界面动力学（2）氢在金属中的界面动力学量子模拟 金属团簇上吸附的氢（3）试探波函数， 不变量，以及（4）多原子分子的振动弛豫， 液体. 快速、现代化的计算机工作站网络是满足 化学系的计算需求。 这样的“计算机网络” 也作为新的理论代码的开发环境， 算法，提供最先进的图形和可视化设施， 并支持并行计算的最新应用研究 处理.

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program and the Academic Research Infrastructure (ARI) Program will assist the Department of Chemistry at Brown University acquire computer systems to upgrade the existing computer network. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the following: (1) interfacial dynamics of hydrogen in metals (2) quantum simulations of adsorbed hydrogen on metal clusters (3) trial wave functions and invariants, and (4) vibrational relaxation of polyatomic molecules in liquids. A network of fast, modern computer workstations is a new way to satisfy the computing needs of chemistry departments. Such a `computer network` also serves as a development environment for new theoretical codes and algorithms, provides state-of-art graphics and visualization facilities, and supports research in state-of-the-art applications of parallel processing.
