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.

该奖项为获得迫切需要的计算和可视化设备提供了资金，以支持UCSD最近启动的计算科学，数学和工程学（CSME）博士学位课程（http://csme.ucsd.edu/）。 加利福尼亚大学的资金和基础设施都将高度匹配（百分之三十）的支出。 由此产生的CSME培训设施将为CSME学生提供直接访问有效的计算策略，开发调整到大型平行环境的方法以及在有意义的计算机上测试代码效率（可扩展性）的方法。 CSME计划提供了计算科学现代工具的综合研究和培训。该计划的目的是满足生产下一代科学家的基本需求，这些科学家将为我们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，并继续寻求了解物理学，化学和生物学的基本问题。 该CSME设施还将通过为校园中许多相似的计算研究计划提供重点，从而为更广泛的UCSD计算科学界提供好处。 CSME计划位于UCSD（http://ccom.ucsd.edu/）的计算数学中心（CCOM）中心，直接涉及五个核心学术部门（数学，化学，计算机科学和工程，机械和机械和航空航天工程和物理学）的教职员工，以及在不涉及的科学方面，几乎参与了各种科学的工作。
