该奖项是为了获得圣何塞州立大学(SJSU)最先进的高性能计算(HPC)设施。HPC系统将为教职员工和学生提供定期访问用于计算科学和工程研究的现代校园计算设施的机会。作为旧金山湾区STEM领域的主要枢纽，该设施将促进科学和工程的进步，并通过必要的实验室课程和研究机会为我们的学生提供多样化的体验。这个多学科的合作项目涉及生物科学、化学、计算机科学、航空航天工程、计算机工程、气象学和气候科学、物理、天文学、数学和统计学的教职员工和学生。该中心将进一步加强S作为湾区生物技术/制药和信息技术工作人员培训中心的能力。这一设施还将有助于吸引代表人数不足的群体以及当地社区大学的学生进入上海州立大学的STEM领域。预计上海州立大学每年将有超过200名学生在STEM相关课程和活动中受益，包括使用1696个计算核心和1.0 PB高性能存储系统(HPSS)构建的混合中央处理器(CPU)/图形处理器(GPU)HPC。该系统将用于计算分析、数据密集型研究、富媒体、三维计算机建模、数据挖掘和大规模模拟。即将开始的项目包括：按需数值天气预报、同化和分析(大气科学)；贫气星系轨道和暗物质的动力学模拟(物理和天文学)；与BIV TAR RNA和蛋白质-蛋白质界面结合的TAT肽突变体的计算模拟(生物化学)；原子尺度材料的量子力学性质(物理和天文学)；在风存在下的制导和轨道优化战略，以及航天器和轨道优化(航空航天工程)；适应的基因组评估，以及海洋无脊椎动物生物活性化合物的药理学和进化前景(生物科学)；对火星上的天气现象、尘埃输送和气候进行高分辨率模拟(行星科学)；以及对大量高维数据进行建模的高效算法(数学和统计)。HPC基础设施和相关的用户组将促成许多进一步的后续项目，包括跨学科协作以及更广泛的SJSU社区的参与。

This award is to acquire a state-of-the-art high-performance computing (HPC) facility at San Jose State University (SJSU). The HPC system will provide faculty and students regular access to a modern, on-campus computing facility for computational science and engineering research. As a key hub for STEM fields in the San Francisco Bay Area, this facility will promote the progress of science and engineering, as well as offer a wide diversity of experiences for our students through required laboratory courses and research opportunities. This multidisciplinary and collaborative project involves faculty and students from biological science, chemistry, computer science, aerospace engineering, computer engineering, meteorology and climate science, physics, astronomy, mathematics, and statistics. The HPC will further enhance SJSU?s capability as a focal point in training members of the biotechnology/ pharmaceutical and information technology workforce in the Bay Area. This facility will also contribute to attracting students from underrepresented groups as well as local community colleges into STEM fields at SJSU. It is anticipated that more than 200 students from SJSU each year in STEM related courses and activities will benefit from such an instrument.Comprising a hybrid central processing unit (CPU)/graphics processing unit (GPU) HPC built using 1696 compute cores and a 1.0-petabyte High Performance Storage System (HPSS). This system will be used for computational analysis, data-intensive research, rich media, three-dimensional computer modeling, data mining, and large-scale simulation. The projects that are poised to commence include: on-demand numerical weather prediction, assimilation, and analysis (Atmospheric Science); dynamical modeling of orbits and dark matter in gas-poor galaxies (Physics and Astronomy); computational modeling of Tat peptide mutants binding to BIV TAR RNA and protein-protein interfaces (Biochemistry); quantum mechanical properties of materials in the atomic scale (Physics and Astronomy); guidance and trajectory optimization strategies in presence of wind, and spacecraft and orbital trajectory optimization (Aerospace Engineering); genomic assessment of adaptation, and pharmacological and evolutionary perspective on bioactive compounds in marine invertebrates (Biological Science); high-resolution simulations of weather phenomena, dust transport, and climate on Mars (Planetary Science); and efficient algorithms for modeling large amount of data in high dimensions (Mathematics and Statistics). The HPC infrastructure and associated user group will enable many further follow-up projects, including cross-disciplinary collaborations as well as participation from the wider SJSU community.
