The joint Announcement of Opportunity for FY2001 invites scientists working at U.S. institutions within the U.S. to submit proposals for conducting research applicable to specific programs or activities within NASA's Aerospace Technology Enterprise, including aviation safety, advanced space transportation, and intelligent systems. Other resources include SGI Origin 2000 systems ranging from 64 to 256 processors, with mass storage and secure operations capabilities.
Scientists also have access to a variety of software, graphics libraries and programs.
Operational Period Announcement of Opportunity . The system is tentatively scheduled to be installed in mid-August, pending a reorganization of the computer room floor, says Tangney. The NAS Systems Division is the lead organization for high-performance computing within the agency. In the ongoing quest to solve challenges with creating nanoscale molecular electronic devices, researchers at NASA Ames are working to design nanoscale DNA diodes, transistors, and simple logic gates. Much of the recent progress in computer technology is based on creating smaller and smaller transistors for logic devices and integrated circuits.
