CCM News
- February 2009: Jan Mandel is awarded a 4Tflop
TESLA S1070 GPU system from NVIDIA for a
GPU
computing class.
- January 2009: The Department and the CCM are awarded $23K
from the College to purchase two Linux servers with 16 CPU cores and
64GB memory each, and to
replace the workstations for the student lab. The
CCM has ads $7K to upgrade the monitors to 30".
- September 2008: Jan Mandel is awarded NSF
CDI grant jointly with NCAR and
the University of Utah to build an e-community for wildfire simulation.
The total
$1.6M includes a new cluster to be installed at CCM. The competition
was very stiff and less
than 3% of projects were funded.
- July 2008 Jan Mandel is awarded a $2.8M
NSF
MRI grant
as a part of UCD-wide collaboration with CU-Boulder and NCAR to
purchase a new supercomputer
to replace the BlueGene. This computer should be within the 100 fastest
in the world.
- Spring 2008 Andrew
Knyazev won CLAS and UC Denver 2008 Excellence
in Research and Creative Activities Award
- September 2004: Jan Mandel and Andrew Knyazev are awarded
an NSF grant as a part of collaboration with NCAR and CU-Boulder to
purchase IBM BlueGene supercomputer. This is the only BlueGene to be
installed
in academia and a smaller version of the Lawrence Livermore
supercomputer,
which is the fastest in the world.
- July 2004: Jan Mandel and Steve Billups are awarded from
SUN and
Colorado Institute of Technology a SUN server
valued at $150K for support of Computational Biology and Computational
Mathematics.
- June 2004: CCM purchases two AMD Opteron servers to
replace the main
server and starts the shift to the x86_64 architecture.
- October 2003: The faculty of the Department of Mathematics
votes to require a
computer services fee for CCM in the budget of all grants that
use CCM computing facilities.
- September 2003: Jan Mandel is the lead PI of NSF grant Data Dynamic
Simulation for Disaster Management
on data driven numerical simulation of wildfires, involving 5
institutions and
total budget over $2M. CO-PIs at UCD are Leo Franca and Tolya
Puhalskii.
- March 2003: Andrew Knyazev, Steve Billups, and Harvey
Greenberg
organize the
Sixth IMACS International Symposium on
Iterative Methods in Scientific Computing. Jan Mandel chairs the
Program
Committee.
- January 2002: Andrew Knyazev starts using the Beowulf
cluster in his
Iterative
Methods class.
Jan Mandel starts a series of seminars
to popularize the new cluster to users.
- November 2001: The Beowulf cluster,
purchased from the NSF grant and
configured
by Jan Mandel, is operational.
- July 2001: Russ Boice starts as the new system
administrator.
- February 2001: New bylaws adopted and approved by the Dean
of CLAS.
- September 2000:
The proposal:
"Acquisition of a High-Performance Parallel Computer
for Mathematical Sciences and Applications,"
Principal Investigator: Andrew Knyazev;
CO-PI(s): Lynn Bennethum, Stephen Billups, Jan Mandel, Thomas Russell;
Senior Personnel: Leo Franca, Karen Kafadar, Craig Johns, Marcelle
Arak;
was funded at the level of $100,000
plus $100,000 matching funds from the CU-Denver.
- August, 2000:
The Graduate Computer Lab (GCL) was upgraded.
Thanks to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education Excellence in
Applied Mathematics award, all public X-terminals were replaced with
fast LINUX clients with 21" monitors, which significantly increased
their speed and reliability.
- May, 2000:
CCM members won CLAS awards:
- Anatolii (Tolya) Puhalskii - Research Award
- Leo Franca - Service Award
- Andrew Knyazev - Teaching Award
- 1999
The Graduate Computer Lab (GCL) was upgraded.
Thanks to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education
Excellence in Applied Mathematics award, all GCL servers were replaced
with new LINUX-based servers.
- 1999
Leo Franca was
awarded the 1999 R.H. Gallagher Young Investigator Award and Medal
in recognition of outstanding
accomplishments in the development and analysis of stabilized finite
element methods for computational mechanics.
- 1999
Harvey Greenberg was awarded the 1999 Harold Larnder Prize for
distinguished international achievement in operations
research .
- 1999
Andrew Knyazev was
nominated from CU-Denver for the
President's Faculty Excellence Award for Advancing Teaching and
Learning through Technology.
