The Cornell University Astronomy Department currently has 21 professors and total of 82 students (mostly graduate students) and scientific staff. The present computing system is a Sun 3/280 file server with 19 satellite workstations. Data analysis and modelling efforts are severely constrained by lack of computing facilities. This award will allow the purchase of an additional file server to permit expansion in the number of diskless workstations (which will be funded through other sources.)

康奈尔大学天文学系目前有21名教授和82名学生(大部分是研究生)和科学工作人员。目前的计算系统是一台带有19个卫星工作站的Sun3/280文件服务器。由于缺乏计算设施，数据分析和建模工作受到严重制约。这项奖励将允许购买额外的文件服务器，以扩大无盘工作站的数量(资金将来自其他来源)。
