MRI: Acquisition of a High-Performance Parallel Computer to Support an Interdisciplinary Computational Science Center for Physical Science, Mathematics and Engineering

weinberg, Martin D.Auerbach, Scott m . Massachusetts University of AmherstMRI：收购一台高性能并行计算机以支持跨学科的物理科学、数学和工程计算科学中心这是一项在Massachusetts- amherst大学构建高性能计算平台以提高科学计算水平的建议。该计算平台将由48个奔腾II处理器组成。这个并行计算平台的目的是：(i)促进从事计算模拟或海量数据处理工作的教职员工的研究；（ii）鼓励不同院系和学院的教职员工之间的合作；（iii）提供一个媒介，使计算机科学系的新编译器技术和并行处理研究可以进行测试，并纳入最先进的科学应用；（iv）为新的并行算法和方法提供一个测试平台，(v)允许研究生在课堂上或直接在研究中快速使用并行处理能力。

EIA-9977540Weinberg, Martin D.Auerbach, Scott M.University of Massachusetts AmherstMRI: Acquisition of a High-Performance Parallel Computer to Support an Interdisciplinary Computational Science Center for Physical Science, Mathematics and EngineeringThis is a proposal to construct a high-performance computing platform to enhance the state of scientific computing at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The computing platform will consist of 48 Pentium II processors. The purpose of this parallel computing platform is to: (i) facilitate the research of faculty members whose work involves computational simulation or massive data processing, (ii) encourage collaboration among faculty located in diverse departments and schools, (iii) provide a medium where new compiler technology and parallel processing research in the Computer Science Department can be tested and incorporated into state-of-the-art scientific applications, (iv) provide a testbed for new parallel algorithms and approaches and (v) allow graduate students quick access to parallel processing capabilities for use in classes or directly in research.
