项目摘要

EIA-9802069Culler, David E.Demmel, James W.University of California-BerkeleySimMillennium is a large cluster-of-clusters supporting research in novel techniques for Computational Science and Engineering and for the design of complex systems. It convenes an interdisciplinary community to work, think, and study in a computationally rich environment with deep information stores and powerful services, where ideas are tested through simulation and data is shared and visualized through natural actions. The project leverages major donations from Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Sun, and Bay Networks to construct a testbed extending researcher desktops to SMP servers, group clusters, a large campus cluster, and novel data-interaction devices through gigabit networking. This distributed pool of well-connected resources will be managed as a computational economy, which adapts automatically to changing user demand, system configuration, and component failures. It should enable advances in the computational algorithms and programming environments for solvers used in the simulation and modeling of earthquakes, star formation, and technology CAD on systems with deep memory hierarchies. It will address system design challenges of emerging high-speed networking technologies while developing foundations for the design of large, complex systems. It will motivate new ways of assimilating and interacting with large volumes of information and with each other.

EIA-9802069Culler、David E.Demmel、James W.加州大学伯克利分校SimMillennium 是一个大型集群集群，支持计算科学和工程以及复杂系统设计的新技术研究。它聚集了一个跨学科社区，在一个具有深度信息存储和强大服务的计算丰富的环境中工作、思考和学习，通过模拟测试想法，通过自然行为共享和可视化数据。该项目利用英特尔、IBM、微软、Sun 和 Bay Networks 的大量捐款来构建一个测试平台，将研究人员的桌面扩展到 SMP 服务器、组集群、大型园区集群以及通过千兆位网络的新型数据交互设备。这种连接良好的分布式资源池将作为计算经济进行管理，自动适应不断变化的用户需求、系统配置和组件故障。它应该能够促进求解器的计算算法和编程环境的进步，这些求解器用于地震、恒星形成的模拟和建模，以及在具有深存储器层次结构的系统上的技术 CAD。它将解决新兴高速网络技术的系统设计挑战，同时为大型复杂系统的设计奠定基础。它将激发吸收大量信息并相互交互的新方式。
