MRI: Acquisition of an Eight-Processor Sun 3500 Parallel Computer

理查兹，布拉德利瓦萨学院emri：购买一台八处理器的Sun 3500并行计算机该提案旨在提高瓦萨学院的科学和教学计算能力。此外，还建议购买一台8处理器的Sun Enterprise 3500共享内存并行计算机，具有4gb的RAM和72gb的磁盘空间。这台机器将帮助研究小组专注于以下问题：(i)以提高并行Java程序性能为目标的并行计算，（ii）恒星相互作用的流体动力学模拟，以及（iii）模拟研究BaCeO3和水蒸气之间的反应。除了支持教师的研究，这台新机器对于促进和扩大学生的研究和培训也将是无价的。

EIA-0079466Richards, BradleyVassar CollegeMRI: Acquisition of an Eight-Processor Sun 3500 Parallel ComputerThis proposal is to improve the scientific and pedagogical computational capabilities at Vassar College. Also, it is proposed to purchase an eight-processor Sun Enterprise 3500 shared-memory parallel computer with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 72 gigabytes of disk space. This machine will assist research groups focusing on the following problems: (i) parallel computing with the goal of improving the performance of parallel Java programs, (ii) hydrodynamics simulations of stellar interactions, and (iii) simulations to investigate reactions between BaCeO3 and water vapor. In addition to supporting faculty research, the new machine will also be invaluable for fostering and expanding student research and training.
