Departmental shared computational facilities

达尔豪斯数学系大多数成员的研究领域需要使用相对快速的现代计算机。需要大量计算机时间的部门研究领域包括心脏成像的逆问题，反应扩散系统的模式形成，十六进制博弈分析，杀戮张量的不变理论和多维积分数值方法。通过访问计算集群，可以很容易地满足部门的大量不同需求。进入集群不仅会帮助指定的研究人员，而且会帮助部门的所有成员，包括研究生，博士后研究员和访客。研究生最能强烈地感受到这种需求。研究生完成学位研究的时间有限，因此需要及时使用我们的计算设施。

The research areas of most members of the Dalhousie mathematics division requires access to relatively fast modern computers.  Areas of departmental research which require extensive computer time include the inverse problem of cardiac imaging, pattern formation in reaction diffusion systems, hexadecimal game analysis, invariant theory of Killing tensors and multidimensional numerical methods of integration.  The vast and varied needs of the department can be most easily met with access to a computational cluster. Access to a cluster would not only assist the named researchers, but would be of aid to all members of the department including graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and visitors. The need is most keenly felt by graduate students.  Graduate students have a limited amount of time allotted to complete the research for their degrees and thus require timely access to our computational facilities.
