MAPS: Mathematical Applications with a Parallel-Beowolf System

答：项目摘要乔治梅森大学计算科学与信息学研究所将获得一个Beowulf级并行计算集群，该集群采用运行LINUX操作系统的双处理器节点。每个处理器都是450 MHz Pentium II。该集群将运行消息传递接口(MPI)和并行虚拟机系统(PVM)以及C、C++和Fortran绑定。其他并行计算工具包括高性能Fortran(HPF)和Fortran 90(F90)。该设备将用于支持几个具有高计算要求的研究项目，包括相互作用星系的流体动力学建模、基因网络分析、计算血液动力学、气凝胶中的分形性、自相似性和复杂性的分析，以及沉浸式环境在统计数据分析中的新应用。

A. Project SummaryThe Institute for Computational Sciences and Informatics (CSI) at George Mason University will acquire a Beowulf-class parallel computing cluster with 64 dual-processor nodes running the Linux operating system. Each processor is a 450Mhz Pentium II. The cluster will run the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the Parallel Virtual Machine systems (PVM) with C, C++, and Fortran bindings. Other parallel computing tools include both High Performance Fortran (HPF) and Fortran 90 (F90). The equipment will be used to support several research projects with high computational demands including hydrodynamic modeling of interacting galaxies, gene network analysis, computational hemodynamics, analysis of fractality, self similarity, and complexity in aerogels, and new uses of immersive environments in statistical data analysis.
