This project provides one-half the funds necessary to acquire a computer workstation to be installed in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado. The workstation will be used primarily by the crystallography and mantle petrology research group in Geological Sciences. It will function as a storage and access device for a large accumulated data base on mineral structures and sites; as a stand-alone computer for powder and single-crystal x-ray structure refinements, electron diffraction and channeling calculations, electrostatic energy calculations, and petrologic mixing model calculations; and as a front-end for advanced crystal structure modeling calculations on supercomputers.

该项目提供了购置一台计算机工作站所需资金的一半，该工作站将安装在科罗拉多大学地质科学系。该工作站将主要由地质科学的晶体学和地幔岩石学研究小组使用。它将作为关于矿物结构和场址的大量累积数据库的储存和存取装置；作为粉末和单晶x射线结构细化、电子衍射和通道计算、静电能量计算和岩石混合模型计算的单机计算机；作为超级计算机上先进晶体结构建模计算的前端。
