How much did Dahl cost to build?
Dahl’s hardware cost roughly $165,000 (plus about $20,000 for a 65 kva UPS system, half of which Calvin paid for). The remainder of the grant so far has gone for software packages needed by Calvin researchers. 7. Who paid for Dahl? Dahl was paid for by the National Science Foundation (NSF). We gratefully acknowledge their support of this project! Calvin College also contributed infrastructure, renovation, and release-time costs for the project. 4. For what do you use Dahl? Dahl is primarily used for faculty research projects involving computational modeling. Among the faculty using it are: • Prof. Joel Adams (Computer Science), who is working on a class library to model common HPC problems • Prof. Rich DeJong (Mechanical Engineering), who is modeling fluid-flow dynamics in automotive systems • Prof. Roger DeKock (Chemistry), who is modeling chemical reactions involving transition metal complexes • Prof. Stan Haan (Physics), who is modeling electron excitation and de-excitation • Prof.
