Physical Sciences Network for High Performance Computing

In a highly contested national competition CFI has just awarded us a major parallel computer (64 processors, 32 GB memory), in connection with our PSciNet collaboration with partners in Theoretical Chemistry and Atmospheric Physics ($12.5M project). Martin provided leadership for this effort, beginning with founding the national high performance computing consortium, CITAhpc. Other DA co-investigators are Carlberg, Dubinski, and Dyer, along with the faculty in CITA. The Dean of Arts and Science has made a strong commitment to this as a Faculty priority. The LRPP (§ 2.1) recommends ongoing support for this facility, and a user support scientist position.
