MRI: Acquisition of Peta-Scale Data Storage System for Big Data Exploration in STEM Fields

该奖项由EPSCoR计划共同资助。这个MRI项目是为了获得一个千万亿级的数据存储系统，以增加阿肯色大学小石城分校(UALR)现有的高性能计算(HPC)系统。这些项目涉及医学图像分析、宇宙学模拟、社会网络分析和蛋白质结构预测。我们建议了多项发展完善的扩阔教育及研究参与范围的活动，以加强现有的高性能计算能力，包括透过网络升级而促进不同学科的项目，透过培训各级学生的机会，提供研究与教育的融合，并具有扩大不同科学工作人口参与和发展的潜力。

This award is co-funded by EPSCoR program.This MRI project is to acquire a petascale data storage system to add to the existing high-performance computing (HPC) systems at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). The projects concern analysis of medical images, cosmological simulations, social network analyses and protein structure prediction. A number of well-developed broadening participation activities in education and research are proposed.The project augments existing high performance computing capabilities, includes projects in different disciplines to be facilitated by cyber upgrades, provides integration of research and education through training opportunities for students at all levels, and has a potential for broadening participation and development of a diverse scientific workforce.
