Mission of the core facility in the context of Biomaterials COBRE needs

1. Provide reliable, flexible heterogeneous computational infrastructure (hardware, software, storage, networking) to support the goals of biomaterials design, synthesis, and characterization on multiple length and timescales.
2. Extend Computational Core capabilities to exploit rapidly emerging computational hardware revolving around Graphics Processing Units (GPU’s) for biomaterials modeling. This aim will integrate the COBRE cluster with the NSF sponsored heterogeneous GPU/CPU cluster currently in full operation and physically located in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
3. Develop a robust storage and archival infrastructure to accommodate the increasing data-storage loads incurred with faster hardware and users. This aim will address our continuously expanding needs for long-term data storage and data storage best practices.
4. Supply training support for faculty, graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and undergraduate students for contemporary and emerging high-performance computing paradigms. This aim will integrate with the mission of mentoring scientific personnel at various levels of career development (including faculty introduced via the COBRE pilot projects) within the context of biomaterials research at the University of Delaware.
