Meritorious Research Requiring vBNS Connection
The meritorious research projects for which UNM vBNS connectivity is
needed fall into 3 broad categories, including:
- Scientific applications that involve a combination of very large
data sets, very large computations as well as static and dynamic
visualization of the results. These applications are in computational
biology, computational chemistry and materials science and other
disciplines.
- Development and evolution of new tools to enhance the effectiveness
of High Performance Computing. They include tools for effective remote
access and visualization over high performance networks, for distributed
metacomputing and for harnessing of idle computer cycles on a national
scale to do useful computing.
- Development, evolution and electronic distribution of innovative
training and other user support materials as part of the national Partners
for Computational Infrastructure (PACI) alliance with the National Center
for Supercomputing Applications.
Support of these research activities requires high performance access
to a number of sites, most notably the Maui High Performance Computer
Center, the National Center for Supercomputing
Center, the Pittsburgh Supercomputing
Center and 17 national sites funded by NSF's
Long Term Environmental Research program. The most notable of these
research activities include the following:
- Long Term Environmental Research (LTER)
Network Office
- Electron Transport in Complex Materials
- Energetics and Dynamics of Defects in Cu and Al VLSI
Interconnects
- Visual Programming Environments
- Experiments in Heterogeneous Distributed Computing
- Partners for Computing Infrastructure(PACI)
