|
The Research Infrastructure activity aids in the establishment,enhancement, and operation of major experimental facilities and in the acquisition of equipment such as workstations in order to support research activities in the areas of computer and information science, computer engineering, or computational science. In general, support is provided for equipment, maintenance, technical support staff, and other appropriate costs. The groups supported range from single researchers requiring workstations to cross departmental or cross institutional groups requiring access to special purpose instrumentation.
The largest part of the activity is the Institutional Infrastructure Program. The program activity supports both the acquisition of Scalable Parallel computers for research in parallel computing and computational science and engineering and the acquisition of facilities for experimental research. The Research Instrumentation program, a smaller activity, supports experimental research with awards for workstations for experimental facilities and also for smaller Scalable Parallel computers. |
