| Description |
| Ann Gates, Vladik Kreinovich, Paulo Pinheiro da Silva, Aaron Velasco, Craig Tweedie, Leticia Velazquez and Miguel |
| Argaez, and Brian Giza recently received notice from NSF that they have been awarded a $5,000,000 grant to create the |
| Cyber-ShARE Center of Excellence (Sharing resources through Cyber-infrastructure to Advance Research and Education). |
| The Cyber-ShARE Center team will address the challenge of providing information to scientists and other users of |
| cyber-infrastructure(CI) that allows them to make informed decisions about the resources that they retrieve and to have |
| confidence in using results from CI-based applications. They will conduct innovative research to facilitate the development |
| of CI-based applications and increase their use by scientists by enhancing CI results with provenance information, trust |
| recommendations, and uncertainty levels (areas that are recognized as essential for the success of CI); by creating |
| scientist-centered tools and artifacts; and by contributing CI resources to appropriate CI portals including GEON. In |
| addition,the synergistic and multi-disciplinary subprojects will advance knowledge in i) provenance to capture knowledge |
| about uncertainty and trust using results from discipline experts; ii) the physical properties of the Earth by studying |
| CI-based techniques and approaches for integrating data with varying accuracy and sensitivity; iii) optimization of data |
| streams and sensor arrays in ecological and environmental networks by targeting improved characterization of |
| environmental phenomenon and processes. Many of the Center researchers have been involved in national CI efforts, and |
| they will work with an educator who has expertise in technology and science education to create unique and effective |
| CI-based teaching components |

| 8 2. ARL Army Center (2007-2012) |
| Collaborators: Pat Teller, Gabby Gandara, Leticia Velazquez, Miguel Argaez, Carlos Quintero, and Yip kei Knowk |
| |
| Description |
| UTEP is part of the recent award to administer the Army's High Performance Computing Research Center,
with the prime |
| contractors being Stanford University and HPTi, a company in the DC area. UTEP's participation centers on two research |
| projects, one focused on multicore technology (Dr. Teller) and one focused on the use of HPC in optimization research |
| (Drs. Argaez and Velazquez), and one education proposal involving summer programs (Gabby Gandara). As part of this |
| award, the projects at UTEP will have the use of a cluster and visualization equipment will be delivered to UTEP. The award |
| covers a period of five years with an option for five additional years. (April 2007) |

| Principal Investigator: O. Ghattas |
| Co-Principal: Mary Wheeler, C. Bajaj, Tinsley J. Oden, and J. Boisseau |
| UTEP Senior Personnel: Leticia Velazquez |
| |
| Description |
| This grant allow us to use a special queue has been configured that will enable Drs. Argaez and Velazquez to run jobs for |
| up to 24-hours that utilize up to 512 cores.
There are 160 nodes (640 cores) available via this queue; each with: |
| two-socket, dual-core Xeon processors (2.66 GHz); 8 GB of Memory; and 73 GB of Disk. |
