Scientific Computing Research Environments for the Mathematical Sciences (SCREMS)

加州大学圣巴巴拉分校数学系将购买一个Beowulf集群，该集群由16个双处理器节点、一个单处理器控制节点、一个网络交换机、备份磁带驱动器和一个机架组成。这些硬件将专门用于支持数学科学的研究。该设备将用于几个研究项目，特别是：河流景观的缩放计算，有效非线性量子系统的计算，动态自适应和非刚性边界积分方法，模拟多相流体和二维理想不可压缩流体中的涡量变形的数值方案。

The Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Santa Barbara will purchase a Beowulf Cluster consisting of 16 dual processor node, one single processor controlling node, a network switch, backup tape drive, and a rack. This hardware will be dedicated to the support of research in the mathematical sciences. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including in particular: Computations of scaling of fluvial landscapes, computations of effectively nonlinear quantum systems, dynamically adaptive and nonstiff boundary integral methods, numerical schemes for simulations of multi-phase fluids and vorticity deformation in 2D ideal incompressible fluid flow.
