项目摘要

This award provides funding for the acquisition of critically needed computational and visualization equipment in support of UCSD's recently launched Computational Science, Mathematics, and Engineering (CSME) Doctoral Program (http://csme.ucsd.edu/). The expenditure will be highly matched (thirty percent) by the University of California, by both funds and infrastructure. The resulting CSME training facility will provide direct access to CSME students for design of effective computational strategies, development of methods tuned to large parallel environments,and testing of code efficiency (scalability) on a meaningful-sized computer. The CSME program offers integrated research and training in the modern tools of computational science. The objective of the program is to address the essential need to produce the next generation of scientists that will provide the solutions to the major problems of our time: climate change, anthropogenic pollution, and energy diversity as well as continue the quest for the understanding of fundamental problems of physics, chemistry and biology. This CSME facility will also provide benefits to the broader UCSD computational science community by providing a focus for many similarcomputational research programs on the campus. The CSME Program is based in the Center for Computational Mathematics (CCoM) at UCSD (http://ccom.ucsd.edu/), and directly involves faculty from five core academic departments (mathematics, chemistry, computer science and engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and physics), and also involves in a less direct way nearly all major science and engineering units at UCSD.

该奖项为购买急需的计算和可视化设备提供资金，以支持加州大学圣地亚哥分校最近启动的计算科学、数学和工程 (CSME) 博士项目 (http://csme.ucsd.edu/)。加州大学在资金和基础设施方面将与该支出高度匹配（百分之三十）。由此产生的 CSME 培训设施将为 CSME 学生提供直接访问，以设计有效的计算策略、开发适合大型并行环境的方法以及在有意义大小的计算机上测试代码效率（可扩展性）。 CSME 项目提供现代计算科学工具的综合研究和培训。该计划的目标是满足培养下一代科学家的基本需求，这些科学家将为我们这个时代的主要问题提供解决方案：气候变化、人为污染和能源多样性，并继续寻求理解物理、化学和生物学的基本问题。该 CSME 设施还将为校园内许多类似的计算研究项目提供重点，从而为更广泛的 UCSD 计算科学界带来好处。 CSME 项目位于 UCSD 计算数学中心 (CCoM) (http://ccom.ucsd.edu/)，直接涉及来自五个核心学术系（数学、化学、计算机科学与工程、机械和工程）的教师。航空航天工程和物理学），并且还以不太直接的方式涉及加州大学圣地亚哥分校的几乎所有主要科学和工程单位。
