9601930 Lerner-Lam This grant, made through the Academic Research Infrastructure (ARI) Program, provides $500,000 as one-half support of the costs of acquiring a very large mass storage system for earth and environmental research at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. Specifically, the equipment will include roughly 10.5 terabytes (TB) of mass storage, of which, 500 GB will be concentrated in high speed file servers and a serial storage architecture (SSA) disk and the remaining 10 TB of storage will be accommodated by digital tape through a "juke box" system. This mass storage system will serve both the IBM scalable parallel supercomputer (SP2) at Lamont and a network of 140 high performance workstations for this group's data intensive research including, reflection and refraction seismology, numerical modeling of the geophysical fluid dynamics of the Earth's mantle, climate dynamics and exploration and near-surface geophysics. ***

小行星9601930 这项赠款是通过学术研究基础设施（ARI）计划提供的，提供50万美元，作为在拉蒙多尔蒂地球观测站为地球和环境研究购买一个非常大的大容量存储系统的一半费用。 具体来说，该设备将包括大约10.5 TB的大容量存储，其中500 GB将集中在高速文件服务器和串行存储架构（SSA）磁盘中，其余10 TB的存储将通过“点唱机”系统由数字磁带容纳。 这个大容量存储系统将为位于拉蒙的IBM可扩展并行超级计算机（SP2）和一个由140个高性能工作站组成的网络提供服务，用于该小组的数据密集型研究，包括反射和折射地震学、地幔地球物理流体动力学的数值模拟、气候动力学和勘探以及近地表地球物理学。 ***
