Scientific Computing Research Environments in the Mathematical Sciences

亚利桑那州立大学数学系将购买一组高性能pc，专门用于支持数学科学研究。这些设备将用于跨学科的研究项目。这些项目包括：晶体生长过程的集成智能建模、设计和控制、脑动力学的数学研究、复杂动力系统时空数据分析、重构并行优化。*非参数函数和方差估计并行性将在粗粒度问题上被利用，通过使用Beowulf系统将pc集群联网，以相对低的成本实现高速大规模计算。这个集群的收购也将影响和加强其他部门研究小组的研究活动，包括教师，博士后访问学者和研究生，在计算流体动力学，离散数学和数论。为了支持研究活动，系统管理员将在头两年以美国国家科学基金会50%的资金聘用。这一职位将在2010年正规化到大学基金中

The Department of Mathematics at Arizona State University will purchase a cluster of high performance PCs that will be dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment will be used for interdisciplinary-focused research projects. These projects include,* Integrated Intelligent Modeling, Design and Control of Crystal Growth Processes* Mathematical Studies in Brain Dynamics* Analysis of Spatiotemporal Data from Complex Dynamical Systems* Parallel Optimization for Reconstruction, Quantification and Segmentation* Nonparametric Function and Variance EstimationParallelism will be exploited on coarse granularity problems to achieve high-speed large-scale computation for relatively low cost by networking a cluster of PCs using the Beowulf system. The acquisition of this cluster will also impact and enhance research activities of other departmental research groups, comprising faculty, postdoctoral visitors and graduate students, in computational fluid dynamics, discrete mathematics, and number theory. In support of the research activities, a Systems Administrator will be hired 50% on NSF funds for the first two years. This position will be regularized to university funds in
