CC* Compute: SIUE Campus Cluster

该项目的目标是增强南伊利诺伊大学爱德华兹维尔大学的高性能计算资源，以支持各种研究和教育活动。具体地说，当前的园区设施没有提供足够的GPU或存储资源来支持大型数据集的工作。此外，SIUE园区IT员工的参与增加了支持网络基础设施资源的经验，以更好地支持教师、学生和合作者。这些硬件直接支持正在进行的项目和教学活动，包括：使用机器学习模型预测复杂的表型特征，开发双曲型偏微分方程问题的高阶精确数值方法，了解化学反应、药物相互作用和网络安全中量子现象背后的机制。其他活动包括将高性能计算纳入课堂练习和课程的教员外展。通过开放科学网格(OSG)和其他合作努力共享此计算环境的承诺增加了SIUE社区对其他共享资源的认识和采用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The goal of this project is to enhance high performance computing resources at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to support a variety of research and education activities. Specifically, current campus facilities do not provide sufficient GPU or storage resources needed to enable work with large data sets. Additionally, SIUE campus IT staff participation increases experience supporting cyberinfrastructure resources to better support faculty, students, and collaborators.This hardware directly supports ongoing projects and teaching activities which include: the use of machine learning models to predict complex phenotypic traits, development of high order accurate numerical methods for problems governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations, understanding the mechanism behind the quantum phenomenon in chemical reactions, drug interactions, and cybersecurity. Additional activities include faculty outreach in incorporation of high-performance computing into classroom exercises and curriculum.Commitment to sharing this computing environment through the Open Science Grid (OSG) and other collaborative efforts increases awareness and adoption of other shared resources by the SIUE community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
