RUI: Development of a Local Area Computer Cluster for Moss Landing Marine Laboratories

本海洋仪器采集项目是根据美国国家科学基金本科院校研究指导方针提供的。圣何塞州立大学的莫斯兰丁海洋实验室（MLML）将获得计算机硬件和软件，与其他现有设备组成一个小型局域网。MLML的学生发现，多用户、多任务的计算机系统在海洋科学研究中变得越来越普遍，能够使用这种类型的计算机环境非常重要。该网络亦会透过分发数据库、文字处理软件和数据分析软件，包括统计、海洋数据精简、绘图、等高线和绘图，加强部门范围内的电脑使用。这个网络的安装将加强所有的教学和nsf赞助的研究项目。

This Oceanographic Instrumentation acquisition project is provided under the NSF Research for Undergraduate Institu- tions (RUI) guidelines. The Moss Landing Marine Laboratory (MLML) of San Jose State University will acquire computer hardware and software to form a small local area network with other existing equipment. Students at MLML are discovering that multi-user, multi-tasking computer systems are becoming more prevalent in marine science research and that having access to this type of computer environment is important. The network will also enhance department-wide computer use by distributing data bases, word processing software, and data analysis software, including statistics, oceanographic data reduction, mapping, contouring, and graphics. The installation of this network will enhance all teaching and NSF-sponsored research programs.
