Abstract
The objective of this request is a partial update of the high-performance cluster of the UNICAMP Institute of Physics Gleb (IFGW). This update will make the cluster available to all the groups that require parallel computation, as well as to the graduate students of our Institute. As one of the largest institutions of higher learning and research in Brazil, the IFGW has contributed to a considerable portion of the national scientific and technological production and innovation. The IFGW computational network is key to that contribution. Therefore, all the IFGW research groups who use the network will benefit from this upgrade, as will all of the IFGW graduate students who require access to highperformance computation. We are requesting resources for the acquisition of a high-performance processing cluster in order to create new computational opportunities for the following projects: Computer modeling of condensed matter - (CM)2; Atomic and molecular physics (Prof. Marco Aurélio P. Lima); The Pierre Auger Observatory (José Augusto Chinellato); Computer simulations of many-body quantum systems (Eduardo Miranda) and Spontaneous speciation in spatially distributed populations (Marcus A. M. Aguiar); Neutrinos in cosmology (Pedro Holanda); Structural and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube fibers (Douglas Galvão); Investigation of simple quantum systems with applications in quantum computation and cryptography (José Antonio Roversi); Computer simulations of many-body quantum systems (Prof. Silvio A. S. Vitiello); Use of a high-intensity, high-resolution beamline for the development of advanced spectroscopy techniques applied to materials of technological interest (Geoge G. Kleiman); and Nanomaterials (Varlei Rodrigues). (AU)
