 The Physics Department has recently dedicated a large computing resource to the study of strong-interaction physics by quantum chromodynamics. The GWU QCD Cluster has two queues, a red queue with 16 compute nodes, a green queue with 4 compute nodes, where each compute node is a dual quad-core Intel Xeon 2.33 GHz processor with 2 GB of memory and 80 GB of hard drive. The 160 cores in the cluster are interconnected via an Infiniband network. |

IMPACT kickoff held on May 8th 2007 in the Jack Morton auditorium was well received from faculty and scientific communities from ECE, MAE, CS, CEE, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. The event chaired by Professor Tarek El-Ghazawi introduced the IMPACT center along with speeches from executive vice president Donald Lehman, SEAS dean Timothy Tong, chief research officer Elliot Hirshman. IMPACT's nine steering commitee members Marc Allard, William Briscoe, Tarek El-Ghazawi, Cing-Dao Kan, Can Korman, Roger Lang, Frank Lee, Rajat Mittal, and Jonathan Stanton presented their vision of the institute and collaboration plans. |

 SEAS recently organized the first GW Symposium on High-Performance Computing and Applications, which was held at the Marvin Center in October 2006. The symposium was conceived to provide a forum to showcase advanced computing work at GW and to learn about the direction and key programs of the federal government in high performance computing. It was co-chaired by SEAS Professors Tarek El-Ghazawi, Steve Kan, and Rajat Mittal, and approximately 60 people from government, SEAS, and GW’s |
