Second Generation Flexible Computing Environment for Computational Modeling of Brain Function and Neuroimaging Data Analysis

Abstract

The instrumentation purchased with funds from this Durip grant was part of a total upgrade of the computing facility of the newly formed Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI, formerly the Center for the Study of Brain, Mind and Behavior). This proposal to the Air Force Office of Sponsored Research's (AFOSR) Durip program was intended to complement a parallel proposal for a file server upgrade that was submitted to the National Institute of Health (NIH). Both proposals were funded, and AFOSR permitted the PNI to submit a revised budget that redistributed the Durip funds, reducing the amount spent on the file server (as that was primarily covered in the NIH grant) and increasing the amount spent on the computational cluster. The result was that the PNI was able to procure a new computational cluster and large mirrored file server, resulting in a total facility upgrade that is now sufficient to support the ever growing needs of the PNI for the next three to five years.
