ATI: Acquisition of a Beowulf Cluster for Computational Astrophysics, Cosmology and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。将利用新的84节点/672处理器Beowulf Linux集群的计算能力开展各种研究项目。这些科学项目涵盖宇宙学和星系形成、恒星和行星形成，以及具有相对较强重力和电磁场的致密天体的天体物理学。该群组将在开发新的数据分析和获取方法方面发挥作用，特别是在下一代射电天文仪器方面。加州大学伯克利分校的一个由21名研究人员组成的多样化团队将使用该集群，该团队以外的研究人员可以获得一些时间。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).A wide variety of research projects will be pursued with the computational power of a new 84 node/672 processor Beowulf Linux cluster. The science projects span cosmology and galaxy formation, star and planet formation, and the astrophysics of compact objects with relativistically strong gravity and electromagnetic fields. The cluster will play a role in developing new methods of data analysis and acquisition, especially with regard to next-generation radio astronomy instruments. The cluster will be used by a diverse team of 21 researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, with some time available for researchers outside of this team.
