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 x84_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.
