This grant supports an upgrade of research computing facilities of four Brown Geological Sciences faculty with closely allied research interests in seismology, mantle geodynamics, and mantle melting processes (Karen Fischer, Don Forsyth, Yan Liang, and Marc Parmentier). A 32 processor, 16 node computer cluster will be purchased. The cluster will enable a variety of studies using parallelized versions of in-house developed codes as well as parallel codes for both seismic wave propagation and mantle dynamics that are (or will) become available through the NSF-sponsored Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (http://www.geodynamics.org). As part of this project, the University will support acquisition of a file storage system that will allow efficient access to large databases from recent, ongoing, and future seismic field experiments and other data such as the waveforms being generated by USArray. In addition to the research that will be enabled, these facilities will contribute to the education and research training of graduate and undergraduate students.

该基金支持布朗大学地质科学学院四名在地震学、地幔地球动力学和地幔融化过程方面有着密切研究兴趣的教员（Karen Fischer、Don Forsyth、Yan Liang和Marc Parmentier）升级研究计算设施。将购买32个处理器、16个节点的计算机集群。该集群将使用内部开发代码的并行版本以及地震波传播和地幔动力学的并行代码进行各种研究，这些代码已经（或将）通过nsf赞助的地球动力学计算基础设施（http://www.geodynamics.org）提供。作为该项目的一部分，该大学将支持购买一个文件存储系统，该系统将允许从最近的、正在进行的和未来的地震现场实验和其他数据（如USArray生成的波形）中有效地访问大型数据库。除了将启用的研究，这些设施将有助于研究生和本科生的教育和研究培训。
