MRI: Acquisition of a High Performance Computing System for Undergraduate Geoscience Research

从这个主要的研究仪器（MRI）计划补助金的资金将支持在安吉洛州立大学（ASU）的教师和本科生地球科学研究的高性能计算（HPC）设施的收购。 一个16 CPU的计算集群将支持教师和学生对地震波通过异质材料传播的研究，并将用于处理从现场主动和被动源地震记录仪部署收集的大型地震数据集，用于地壳和上地幔成像。 PI将开发地震波传播的全三维模型。 该集群将支持本科生在物理学，生物物理学，应用物理学，应用数学和地质学方面的研究，并将加强研究机会和与亚利桑那州立大学其他部门的合作，如农业，生物学，计算机科学和数学。 ASU是一个西班牙裔服务机构。 计算集群将使代表性不足的学生接触到计算研究，并在此过程中帮助他们发展市场技能。

Funding from this Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program grant will support acquisition of a high performance computing (HPC) facility for faculty and undergraduate student geoscience research at Angelo State University (ASU). A 16 CPU compute cluster will support faculty and student research on seismic wave propagation through heterogeneous materials and will be used to process large seismic data sets collected from field active- and passive-source seismic recorder deployments for crustal and upper mantle imaging. The PI will develop fully three-dimensional models of seismic wave propagation. The cluster will support undergraduate student research in physics, geophysics, applied physics, applied mathematics, and geology and would enhance research opportunities and collaborations with other departments at ASU, such as agriculture, biology, computer science and mathematics. ASU is a Hispanic serving institution. The compute cluster will expose underrepresented students to computational research and in so doing, help them to develop marketable skills.
