The Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films, a joint ERC of Clemson University and MIT, maintains testbeds in which pilot-scale production equipment can be used to develop new fiber and film products as well as validate advanced process models. The modeling effort is supported by an advanced parallel processor with 528 1GHz CPUs and 264 GBytes RAM. The output of the parallel processor feeds directly to a distributed computer cluster dedicated to visualization, giving the Center researchers the unique capability of incorporating molecular detail into the process models being developed in CAEFF. The estimated value for the CAEFF facilities is over $5M.
