Multidisciplinary nature evident in NSF support. Directorates of Math and Physical Sciences Division of Materials Research, Chemistry Division, Division of Mathematical Sciences, Physics Division, Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, Computer and Information Science and Engineering Program Advanced Computational Infrastructure and Research Division.
Director: Duane D. Johnson (MatSE) co-developed: Richard Martin (Physics) Coordinator: Dr. Jeongnim Kim CRCD: David Ceperley (Physics) Faculty Participants: MatSE, Physics, Chemistry, CS, AAE, ECE,. Offices: 295 ESB, Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory MCC Goals Provide an interactive environment for students and researchers to produce world-class, multidisciplinary research in Computational Materials Sciences (CMS). Foster campus, national, and international multidisciplinary interactions in CMS, especially between the physical and computer sciences. Provide students will valuable experiences through these interactions. Develop a web-based Software Archive as a shared resource for the CMS community to foster and encourage interaction and to reduce redundancy.
At The Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory Powered by To foster our goals, IBM originally donated over $500,000 worth of computers. 4-processor F80 Unix Server + 22-node Unix workstation cluster. IBM has also provided a large discount to expand cluster to 32 nodes. Expansion made possible by generous support of: COE, Research Board, MRL, MatSE, Physics, Chemistry, CSE Program, CS, and faculty. With 44P-170 400-MHz chipsets, cluster is 32-40 Gflops!
MCC Current Materials Research Thrusts Computer Science Applications to Multiscale Problems in Materials Science - develop advanced algorithms and toolkits DFT Algorithms and Order-N Methods - address atomic- and nano-scale phenomena. Complex Systems and Phase Transformations - predict properties in (non-)equilibrium systems, magnetic alloys. Scaleable Parallel Multiscale Modeling of Mechanical Behavior - cracking, textures, constitutive laws. Classical/Quantum Simulations and Photo-Chemistry - pharmaceutical design Important goal is coupling to the experimental programs at the MRL.
Sponsor a web-based Software Archive For a shared resource for CMS community and to foster and encourage interaction and reduce redundancy. On the Archive Page: Welcome to the MCC Software Repository For information about posting your code on the Archive, email mcc@uiuc.edu Software posted is made available to (and from) the Computational Materials Community. The software will be either readily accessible or access will be controlled by the author(s) of the software. You will be asked to register for each software you wish to download.
