With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of California in Berkeley will upgrade its computational chemistry facility. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including the study of reaction mechanisms and dynamics, structural biology, spectroscopy, enzyme catalysis, coordination chemistry and environmental chemistry. The reconfiguration of this facility is also tied to a curriculum development initiative, e.g., the faculty will offer in-facility mini courses, and the equipment will be used in modern computational and molecular modeling methods in undergraduate and graduate courses. A cluster of fast, modern computer workstations is vital to serving the computing needs of active research departments. Such a "computer network" also serves as a development environment for new theoretical codes and algorithms, provides state-of-the-art graphics and visualization facilities, and supports research in state-of-the-art applications of parallel processing. These studies will have a significant impact in a wide number of areas, including biochemistry and environmental chemistry.

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的支持下，加州大学伯克利分校化学系将升级其计算化学设施。该设备将加强多个领域的研究，包括反应机制和动力学、结构生物学、光谱学、酶催化、配位化学和环境化学的研究。 该设施的重新配置也与课程开发计划相关，例如，教师将提供设施内迷你课程，设备将用于本科生和研究生课程的现代计算和分子建模方法。 快速、现代化的计算机工作站集群对于满足活跃研究部门的计算需求至关重要。这样的“计算机网络”还充当新理论代码和算法的开发环境，提供最先进的图形和可视化设施，并支持并行处理的最先进应用的研究。这些研究将对包括生物化学和环境化学在内的许多领域产生重大影响。
