HPNC: Colorado School of Mines High Performance Network Connection

科罗拉多矿业学院(CSM)是一所特殊用途的大学，从事国际公认的科学和工程研究，同时保持在全国享有盛誉的工程教育承诺。为了满足研究人员的需求，CSM正在规划高性能网络连接(HPNC)。CSM建议通过前端射程GigaPop与Internet2的S阿比林网络建立连接，以实现这一目标。这项提案描述了五个研究项目，每个项目都将显著受益于HPNC：由Jeff Squier博士领导的Squier小组专注于三维非线性显微镜和光学组织学。由Frank Schowengerdt博士领导的空间燃烧商业应用中心(CCACS)在与燃烧相关的科学领域进行研究，特别关注那些研究结果可以应用于商业产品和工艺开发，以及研究可以从空间的独特性质中受益的领域。Panos Kiousis博士进行的研究涉及在受到静态、循环和动态激励(如强烈地震运动)时对高强混凝土结构进行建模。由克莱尔·麦凯布博士领导的麦凯布小组从事分子建模和计算化学的研究。OpenChem工作台项目(Glenn Murray博士和J.Thomas McKinnon博士)计划扩展到化学建模方面的实时合作。

Colorado School of Mines (CSM) is a special-purpose university that does internationally recognized science and engineering research while maintaining a nationally acclaimed commitment to engineering education. In support of the needs of its researchers, CSM is planning a high performance network connection (HPNC). CSM proposes to make a connection to Internet2's Abilene Network through the Front Range GigaPop to achieve this objective. Five research projects, each which would significantly benefit from a HPNC are described in this proposal: The Squier Group, led by Dr. Jeff Squier, focuses on three dimensional nonlinear microscopy and optical histology. The Center for Commercial Applications of Combustion in Space (CCACS), led by Dr. Frank Schowengerdt, conducts research in scientific areas related to combustion with a special focus on those areas where the results can be applied to the development of commercial products and processes and where the research can benefit from the unique properties of space. Dr. Panos Kiousis performs research involving the modeling of high strength concrete structures when subjected to static, cyclic, and dynamic excitations such as strong earthquake motions. The McCabe Group, headed by Dr. Clare McCabe performs research on molecular modeling and computational chemistry. The OpenChem Workbench Project (Dr. Glenn Murray and Dr. J. Thomas McKinnon) plans to expand into real time collaboration on chemical modeling.
