Acquisition of a New Geophysics Computer System

[01:77 . 37]这笔拨款支持购买新的计算设备，以升级华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校陆地地球物理研究项目可用的设施。采购的具体设备将包括三台Sun Fire 280R服务器、三台Sun Blade 1000双处理器工作站、2台DLT-800磁带驱动器、一台彩色打印机和一台Xiotech Magnitude SAN 612gb磁盘阵列。目前，该小组的2名教师和6名博士研究科学家/博士后科学家进行的大部分研究都是计算密集型或存储密集型的。合成地震图、层析反演和地磁场变化反演需要比当前机器更快的处理器速度。华盛顿大学目前也参与了四个IRIS pascal地震仪的部署，这将涉及处理和分析大约700 Gb的地震数据。获得一套快速可靠的机器系统将使该计划能够以最佳和富有成效的方式进行研究

0207737WiensThis grant supports the acquisition of new computational equipment to upgrade the facility available to the terrestrial geophysics research program at Washington University - St. Louis. Specific equipment to be purchased will include three Sun Fire 280R servers, three Sun Blade 1000 2-processor workstations, 2 DLT-800 tape drives, a color printer, and a Xiotech Magnitude SAN 612 Gb disk array. Much of the current research conducted by the 2 faculty members and 6 Ph.D. research scientists/post-doctoral scientists in this group has become either computationally intensive or storage intensive. Synthetic seismograms, tomographic inversions, and inversions for geomagnetic field variations require processor speeds that exceed current machines. Washington University is also currently involved with four IRIS PASSCAL seismometer deployments which will involve the processing and analysis of about 700 Gb of seismic data. Obtaining a system of fast and reliable machines will allow this program to carry out research in an optimal and productive manner.***
