Summary
The 32-processor cluster will be used to support a new Center for the Advancement of Computational Research being established in 2003 at Miami University. The goals of the new Center include expanding opportunities for computation in research and supporting the research efforts of both faculty and students in the sciences and engineering. Obtaining the cluster will be an important first step in establishing the new Center. The forty or more faculty who have agreed to participate in the new Center reside in over a dozen different academic departments, so we anticipate using the cluster for a diverse range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary projects. The following five projects are representative of this diversity of interests.
- Asynchronous Nested Decomposition for Linear Programming, Stephen E. Wright, Mathematics & Statistics
- Analysis of a Bacterial Human Pathogen Using a Genomic-Based Approach, Luis A. Actis, Microbiology
- Computational Studies of Potential Energy Surfaces of Nucleic Acid Base Pairs, S. Mark Cybulski, Chemistry & Biochemistry
- Nonlinear Dynamics and Control of Complex Adaptive Systems, Amit Shukla, Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering
- The Effects of Optimization Strategy on Statistical Inference in Cognitive Science, Robin D. Thomas, Psychology
