Upgrading of Shared Computing Equipment in Geophysics

0926762希勒该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。拨款将支持斯克里普斯海洋学研究所地球物理和行星物理研究所（IGPP）的计算设施升级。升级将包括购买多台带有大容量随机存取存储器的MacPro台式电脑，两台XServe服务器和一个XServe 16tb RAID磁盘阵列。计算能力的增强将使IGPP的大量教师受益于NSF资助的研究，从地幔熔体和海洋地壳流体的电磁勘探，到大陆裂谷过程的地震学成像，再到地壳和冰冻圈动力学的空间大地测量学研究。更广泛的影响包括IGPP在研究生指导方面的卓越传统，以及NSF支持IGPP的大量科学家将从要求的升级中受益。要求的升级包括麦金塔电脑平台（一家美国公司）。＊＊＊

0926762ShearerThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). Granted funds will support upgrade of compute facilities at the Institute for Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Upgrades will include purchase of multiple new MacPro desktop computers with massive random access memory, two XServe servers and an XServe 16 TB RAID disk array. The enhance compute capacity will benefit a large number of of faculty at IGPP for NSF funded studies ranging from electromagnetic exploration for mantle melts and oceanic crustal fluids, to seismologic imaging of continental rifting processes to space geodetic studies of crustal and cryosphere dynamics. Broader impacts include the tradition IGPP excellence in graduate student mentorship and the large base of NSF supported scientists with IGPP that will benefit from the requested upgrade. Requested upgrades include Macintosh compute platforms (a U.S. company). ***
