1. Fermilab

The current generation of UNIX farms at Fermilab are rapidly approaching the end of their useful life. The workstations were purchased during the years 1991–1992 and represented the most cost-effective computing available at that time. Acquisition of new workstations has been made to upgrade the UNIX farms for the purpose of providing large amounts of computing for reconstruction of data collected at the 1996–1997 fixed-target run, as well as to provide simulation computing for CMS, the Auger project, accelerator calculations and other projects that require massive amounts of CPU.
