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

这项主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的资金将用于为安吉洛州立大学（ASU）的教师和本科生地球科学研究提供高性能计算（HPC）设备。一个16个CPU的计算集群将支持教职员工和学生对地震波在非均质材料中的传播进行研究，并将用于处理从现场主动和被动震源地震记录仪部署中收集的大型地震数据集，以进行地壳和上地幔成像。PI将开发地震波传播的完全三维模型。该集群将支持本科生在物理学、地球物理学、应用物理学、应用数学和地质学方面的研究，并将加强与亚利桑那州立大学其他部门（如农业、生物、计算机科学和数学）的研究机会和合作。亚利桑那州立大学是一所西班牙裔服务机构。计算集群将使未被充分代表的学生接触到计算研究，并在此过程中帮助他们发展适合市场的技能。

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.
