Abstract

This project is based on FAPESP-funded Thematic Projects which are lead by researchers of the Institute of Mathematical and Computer Science of the University of São Paulo and involve researchers of various other institutions in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The themes of the research projects associated to the Thematic Projects are combinatorial optimization with application on cutting and packing problems, the non stationary mechanics of moving fluids with applications in aeronautics and rheology, nonlinear dynamical systems and their applications, singularities, differential equations and geometry. The installation of this infrastructure will boost the execution of these projects and of others which are carried out around them. The equipment is a computer cluster with high processing power, a high performance storage system together with the supporting software. (AU)
