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.

这项赠款支持了四个棕色地质科学教师的研究计算设施的升级，这些教师在地震学，地幔地球动力学和地幔熔化过程中具有紧密相关的研究兴趣（Karen Fischer，Don Forsyth，Yan Liang和Marc Parmentier）。 将购买一个32处理器，16个节点计算机群集。 该集群将使用并行版本的内部开发的代码以及通过NSF赞助的地球动体学计算基础架构（http://wwwwww.geody namelicks.org）获得（或将）可用于多种研究。 作为该项目的一部分，大学将支持获取文件存储系统，该系统将允许从最近，正在进行和将来的地震现场实验和其他数据（例如USArray生成的波形）中有效访问大型数据库。 除了将启用的研究外，这些设施还将为研究生和本科生的教育和研究培训做出贡献。
