Acquisition Of Equipment For An Interdisciplinary Research Center

该奖项支持购置(1)用于现有代码的串行和并行应用的高性能计算机集群的部件；(2)用于支持行星遥感数据的图像处理和分析的硬件和软件；以及(3)用于收集和分析陆地地质数据的野外和实验室设备。该设备将用于一系列调查，包括行星系统的起源和演化、行星地球科学以及行星撞击的性质和后果。通过与不同学校和博物馆的合作，这项工作将支持可视化和向公众传播行星研究。

AST-0421504/Kortenkamp, Planetary Science InstituteThe award supports the acquisition of (1) components for a high-performance computer cluster for serial and parallel applications of existing codes; (2) hardware and software to support image processing and analysis of planetary remote sensing data; and (3) field and laboratory equipment for collection and analysis of terrestrial geologic data. The equipment will be used for a range of investigations including the origin and evolution of planetary systems, planetary geosciences, and the nature and consequences of planetary impacts. Through collaborations with various schools and museums, the work will support visualization and dissemination of planetary research to the public.
