项目摘要

0112163DuekerThis grant provides partial support for the upgrade of the University of Wyoming, Dept. of Geophysics computation center. Specific equipment to be purchased includes a central UNIX file server, an automated backup system, a 1/2 TB RAID storage system, and computational equipment to build a 10 node Beowulf cluster based on 1.2 GHz CPU's with a combined 1 GB of RAM. The enhancements will support the heavy computational needs of a growing seismology group at Wyoming including recent hires Drs. Ken Dueker, Michael Cheadle, and Dag Nummedal in addition to Drs. Scott Smithson and Steve Holbrook. The seismologists in this department are undertaking new forays into high-fold data (both onshore and offshore, and including 3D pre-stack data) and real-time acquisition and event processing of PASSCAL/GSN/NSN broadband seismic data via the internet. In total, they are currently processing some 3 terrabytes of data. The Geophysics UNIX computational facility at the University of Wyoming currently serves 28 users: 18 graduate students, 5 post-doctoral researchers, 6 professors, and several undergraduates using a heterogeneous, dispersed mix of UNIX hardware and operating systems. This upgrade will centralize processing power and ease the burden on a current systems administrator by adopting common operating systems and uniform hardware. ***

0112163杜克这笔赠款为怀俄明州大学教育部的升级提供部分支持。地球物理计算中心将购买的具体设备包括一个中央UNIX文件服务器、一个自动备份系统、一个1/2 TB RAID存储系统和计算设备，以建立一个基于1.2 GHz CPU和1 GB RAM的10节点Beowulf集群。这些增强功能将支持怀俄明州不断增长的地震学小组的大量计算需求，其中包括最近聘用的Ken Dueker博士、Michael Cheadle博士和Dag Nummedal博士，以及Scott Smithson博士和Steve Holbrook博士。该部门的地震学家正在进行新的尝试，进入高倍数据（陆上和海上，包括三维叠前数据）和实时采集和事件处理的PASSCAL/GSN/NSN宽带地震数据通过互联网。它们目前总共处理大约3万亿字节的数据。怀俄明州大学的地球物理学UNIX计算设施目前为28名用户提供服务：18名研究生、5名博士后研究人员、6名教授和几名本科生，他们使用的是异构的、分散的UNIX硬件和操作系统。这一升级将集中处理能力，并通过采用共同的操作系统和统一的硬件减轻当前系统管理员的负担。 ***
