Via The Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal.

The U.S. Army has given Stanford University a $105 million, five-year grant to build a computing research center at NASA Ames Research Center.

Stanford said the Mountain View-based facility will be used for advanced simulations to help develop new materials for military vehicles and equipment, improve communication on the battlefield, and aid detection of biological or chemical attacks.

The multidisciplinary research center will be directed by Charbel Farhat, a professor of mechanical engineering and expert on supercomputer simulation and a member of the Stanford School of Engineering`s Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering.
