Upgrade of the Computing and Visualization System for DNS/LES Research

摘要

The Defense University Research Instrument Program (DURIP) grant, Upgrade of the Computing and Visualization System for DNS/LES Research, Grant No. F49620-00-1-0220 for $400,000 has been mainly spent for upgrading the existing SGI Origin 2000 from 16 CPU to 32 CPU with additional 6 GB memory and over 200 GB hard disk. A 8 cpu SGI 1200L clustered system and a number of SGI and Dell Workstations and PCs have also been purchased by this fund. These purchases and upgrading have greatly strengthen Louisiana Tech University in conducting Defense related research and education. Dr. Liu's DNS/LES group has got permission to access all theses systems to conduct their state-of-the art DNS/LES research which has been supported by AFOSR for a number of years. They have used that system to conduct DNS/LES computation for 3-D airfoils and plan to work for simplified aircrafts.
