Abstract
We propose the creation of a world-class multidisciplinary center dedicated to the development and application of advanced computational modeling techniques for the purpose of meeting the challenges in frontier problems in computational engineering and sciences, and promote substantial advancements in technological innovation, education and dissemination of knowledge in the broader area of e-Science. The "Center for Computational Engineering and Sciences" will be established at the University of Campinas in its own building which will be constructed with funds recently approved by the Brazilian Agency FINEP, complemented with funds from Unicamp, totaling R$ 6.634.400,00 (US$ 3.7 Mi).The facility will have an auditorium with 160 seats, offices, working spaces, and computer rooms adequate for high performance servers and clusters. The Center is being proposed by highly qualified scientists from the institutes of Biology, Computer Science. Physics, Mathematics. Chemistry, and School of Mechanical Engineering at Unicamp, and finds it’s unifying scientific focus in the field of computational modeling and high performance computing. Five highly distinguished scientists from the University of Texas and Vale, in the United States, University of Graz, Austria, and the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, also participate in the proposal. The Center will constitute a unified venue of excellence, first of its kind in Brazil in which our current expertise in the areas of simulations and computer modeling in general can be multiplied by means of the close interaction among the participants. We expect to be able to address and solve a variety of problems at the forefront of science. Including nanomaterial, complex bimolecular systems of interest to human health and bioenergy, bioinformatics, particulate materials, porous and continuum media, and computational geophysics, which all involve the development of advanced techniques in parallelism extraction and multi-core architectures. The Center is expected to promote and create the means for a stronger interaction between academia and industry and the dissemination of knowledge and education through its Technology Transfer and Dissemination cores.
