Major Research Instrumentation Program: A New Computational Infrastructure at the Santa Fe Institute

9724666年10月，Erica Sante Fe Institute主要研究仪器：Sante Fe Institute的新计算基础设施Sante Fe Institute(SFI)将收购一组多处理桌面系统以及单独的工作站，以及专门用于快速图形和可视化的3D图形引擎。该设备将支持复杂自适应系统仿真的一项研究计划。该倡议的重点将是计算、数学、物理、生物和社会科学。支持的研究领域包括自适应计算、物理过程模拟、生物过程模拟、进化和生态系统动力学、人工生命和计算经济学。尽管SFI不是一个授予学位的机构，但它已经表明了对培养下一代科学家的承诺。提案中描述的每个研究领域都有高级人员与参观者、博士后研究员和大学学生一起工作。SFI还开办了复杂系统暑期学校，学员主要是研究生。几年来，SFI一直提供NSF资助的REU场地项目。

9724666 Jen, Erica Sante Fe Institute Major Research Instrumentation: A New Computational Infrastructure at the Sante Fe Institute The Sante Fe Institute (SFI) will be acquiring a cluster of multiple processing desktop systems together with individual workstations, and a 3D graphics engine dedicated to fast graphics and visualization. The equipment will support a research initiative in the simulation of Complex Adaptive Systems. The focus of the initiative will be on the computational, mathematical, physical, biological, and social sciences. Research areas to be supported include adaptive computation, simulation of physical processes, simulations of biological processes, dynamics of evolutionary and ecological systems, artificial life, and computational economics. Although SFI is not a degree-granted institution, it has demonstrated a commitment to training the next generation of scientists. Each research area described in the proposal has senior personnel working together with visitors, postdoctoral fellows and students from Universities. SFI also runs the Complex Systems Summer School whose attendees are predominantly graduate students. For several years SFI has offered NSF-funded REU Sites projects.
