0520428Abstract: Peter K. MooreThe Department of Mathematics at Southern Methodist University will purchase: a SGI Altix 350 with 4 processors and 64GB RAM; a Rocketcalc PC cluster with 32 Xeon processors each with 2 GB RAM, and Infiniband 10 Gbps switch; a SGI Tezro Graphics workstation with 6 GB RAM; one APC 3000VA Smart-UPS; one APC 1500VA Smart-UPS; and 8 and a 32 pack MATLAB license; each with the new distributed computing toolbox; and the graphics packages AVS and Tecplot 10.With this equipment advances will be made in understanding: mechanisms of liquid-vapor and solid-liquid interfaces; spatially- and physiologically-structured biological systems; turbulence models for the Navier-Stokes (NS) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations; and sintering and grooving of materials. It will also permit the development of general purpose algorithms including: parallel algorithms for multiphase, multicomponent porous media flow, two-point boundary value problems, and high-frequency scattering problems; and extension of adaptive finite element methods to bifurcation analysis of steady-state and time-dependent behavior of reaction-diffusion systems. A new course will be created to train students in parallel computation built around an 8-processor cluster and MATLAB with the distributed computing toolbox.

0520428摘要：Peter K. Moore南卫理公会大学数学系将购买： 一台具有 4 个处理器和 64GB RAM 的 SGI Altix 350； Rocketcalc PC 集群，配备 32 个 Xeon 处理器，每个处理器配有 2 GB RAM 和 Infiniband 10 Gbps 交换机；具有 6 GB RAM 的 SGI Tezro Graphics 工作站；一台 APC 3000VA Smart-UPS；一台 APC 1500VA Smart-UPS；以及 8 个和 32 个包的 MATLAB 许可证；每个都有新的分布式计算工具箱；以及图形软件包 AVS 和 Tecplot 10。有了这些设备，我们将在以下方面取得进步：液-气和固-液界面的机制；空间和生理结构的生物系统；纳维-斯托克斯 (NS) 和磁流体动力学 (MHD) 方程的湍流模型；以及材料的烧结和开槽。 它还将允许开发通用算法，包括：多相、多组分多孔介质流、两点边值问题和高频散射问题的并行算法；以及将自适应有限元方法扩展到反应扩散系统的稳态和时间相关行为的分岔分析。 将创建一门新课程来培训学生围绕 8 处理器集群和 MATLAB 以及分布式计算工具箱构建并行计算。
