A 256 node (128 pair) Beowulf parallel computing cluster is used to improve the realism of gravity-wave modeling by permitting treatment of the three dimensional problem and multiple wave interactions. The infrastructure resource is also to be used by computationally intensive modeling of turbojet fluid dynamics and meteorological forecasting. The former project forges as relationship by which private research funds are pledged by a corporate sponsor, and the latter establishes a direct research link between the lead institution (Embry-Riddle) and Bethune-Cookman College. That particular research link establishes direct access to a skilled population underrepresented in Space Science, facilitated by a well-established institutional advocate. The broad impacts of undergraduate opportunity, direct interaction of Space Science research with a well-trained but underrepresented population, and corporate sponsorship are features of this research, not the more common afterthought.

一个256节点（128对）Beowulf并行计算集群被用来提高重力波模拟的真实性，允许处理的三维问题和多波相互作用。 基础设施资源也将用于涡轮喷气发动机流体动力学和气象预报的计算密集型建模。 前一个项目建立了一种关系，通过这种关系，私人研究资金由一家公司赞助，后者在牵头机构（安柏瑞德）和白求恩-库克曼学院之间建立了直接的研究联系。 这种特殊的研究联系建立了直接接触空间科学领域代表性不足的技术人员的机会，并得到了一个地位稳固的机构倡导者的协助。 本科生机会的广泛影响，空间科学研究与训练有素但代表性不足的人口的直接互动，以及企业赞助是这项研究的特点，而不是更常见的事后思考。
