The mission of the Computational Field Simulation ERC at Mississippi State University (EEC-8907070) has been to research the means and methods to reduce the time and cost while increasing the fidelity and scope of complex field simulations for engineering analysis and design. The Center's $5 million, 44,000 sq. ft. building located on the MSU Campus is designed for cross-disciplinary effort, helping to promote the synergistic research collaboration essential to the Center's success. The headquarters building has a video classroom, affording the use of video equipment in classroom settings and allowing the production of videotaped classes or live satellite transmission to remote sites as well as network based instruction. The Center houses a desktop infrastructure of general-purpose workstations and high performance servers for faculty and student use. An immersive CAVE-like virtual environment facility (consisting of four ten-by-nine foot projected stereoscopic display surfaces, motion tracking, and voice-recognition) provides virtual reality research capabilities. High-performance computing needs are served by a new supercomputer-class "supercluster" with 328 processors based on the SGI 1100 PC server, a 64-processor Sun UltraSPARC-based supercluster , a 32-processor Sun HyperSPARC-based cluster, one Sun Ultra HPC10000 supercomputer, two SGI Onyx2 Infinite Reality graphics servers, four SGI Power CHALLENGE XL compute servers, one Power CHALLENGE L compute server, one Sun Ultra Enterprise 5000 NFS file server, one Sun Ultra Enterprise 5000 compute server, one Sun Ultra Enterprise 450 graphics server, three Sun Ultra Enterprise 450 data servers, FTP/WWW, database, and DNS/NIS servers, 175 Sun UltraSPARC-class workstations, 80 SGI workstations, and assorted other personal computers, printers, and peripherals. The ERC's computing facilities are available to other ERCs on an availability basis.
