The Carnegie Institute of Technology, our engineering college, proposes to develop a Distributed Design and Computation Environment consisting of two project areas, one in collaborative design and the other in large-scale distributed computation, along with an infrastructure project focusing on application quality of service.
The existence of the Internet, web-based technologies, and high-end networking make this vision achievable, but it needs the computational infrastructure to connect the individual parts and the tools that work collaboratively.
We are creating technologies for a computational engineering environment which will allow complex systems, such as gas turbines and chemical processes, to be engineered, analyzed and optimized using multiscale and multilevel (in fidelity) simulations in an integrated terascale computing and visualization environment.
