MRI: Acquisition of a NUMA-based Supercluster for High Performance Computing

该项目旨在实现高性能计算，旨在购买和运营一个超级集群，以补充当前的联邦和州投资，并帮助推动相关的研究和教育活动。学院发起了计算机科学与工程系与其他五个工程与科学学院（生物医学、化学、电子工程、数学、物理和地方工业）的博士学位授予部门的合作企业，并建立了高性能计算中心。该集群位于该中心，涉及计算机系统和科学计算的研究小组。中心服务范围：-研究：高性能计算；开发：超级集群上的并行编程工具-服务：校园其他部门，以及当地社区，如地区高中；-教育：计算机环境使课程能够让学生获得实践经验；与合作：与当地工业联合研究，开发设计和执行并行程序的先进工具。这些研究项目，许多涉及广泛的计算，包括：-将TICC-PP软件基础设施移植到linux -视频编码，-生物识别，-数学问题，材料物理学和基因组学。更广泛的影响：该平台促进了与当地产业、高等教育和K-12教育以及政府机构的合作。此外，它有助于在高性能计算方面培养不同的学生群体。

This project, enabling high performance computing, aims at purchasing and operating a supercluster to complement current federal and state investments and help drive related research and educational activities. The institution has initiated a collaborative enterprise among the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and five other PhD-granting departments from the Colleges of Engineering and Science (Biomedical Science, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, and local industries) and has established a Center High Performance Computing. Housed in the Center, the cluster involves research groups from computer systems and scientific computing. The Center services:-Research: on high performance computing;-Development: tools for parallel programming on the supercluster; -Service: other departments on campus, and also local community, such as area high schools;-Education: computing environment enables courses for students to gain hand-on experience; and-Collaboration: joint research with local industries to develop advanced tools for designing and executing parallel programs.The research projects, many involving extensive computation, include:-Porting of TICC-PP software infrastructure to Linux-Video coding,-Biometrics,-Mathematical problems, Physics of materials, and-Genomics.Broader Impact: The platform fosters collaborations with local industries, higher and K-12 education, and government agencies. Moreover, it contributes to train a diverse population of students in high performance computing.
