IBM Shared University Research Workstation Award Program

IBM, through its Shared University Research Program, has made a number of Intellistation workstations available to the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute. These workstations were awarded through peer-reviewed grant program. The Supercomputing Institute provides hardware and system support and user and parallel programming support.

The Intellistations awarded under this program had a Pentium III Xeon 550 Megahertz processor, 256 Megabytes of RAM, a 9.1 Gigabyte hard drive, a 40x CD reader, Integrated Ethernet, and an IBM Fire GL1 Graphics Card. The operating system is version 4.0 of Windows NT. The workstation came with a 19" monitor.

Laboratory for Computational Science and Engineering

The Supercomputing Institute partners with the Laboratory for Computational Science and Engineering (LCSE) in support of the LCSE's participation in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) National Computational Science Alliance, which has been funded by the National Science Foundation. Through this partnership, Supercomputing Institute researchers are able to participate in the LCSE program.

The LCSE encourages the participation of Supercomputing Institute researchers with applications that demonstrate or test new technologies under active development, applications requiring very large on-line data sets-particularly if they must be accessed at very high bandwidth, applications requiring very high-resolution visualizations-particularly if image animations are needed, and distributed computing applications with tight coupling of computing resources on a fast network are also encouraged.
