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). ***

0926762 Shearer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。 赠款将用于支持斯克里普斯海洋研究所地球物理和行星物理研究所（IGPP）的计算机设施升级。 升级将包括购买多个新的MacPro台式电脑与大容量随机存取内存，两个XServe服务器和一个XServe 16 TB RAID磁盘阵列。 增强的计算能力将使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成像，再到地壳和冰冻圈动力学的空间大地测量研究。 更广泛的影响包括传统的IGPP在研究生导师方面的卓越表现，以及NSF支持的IGPP科学家的大量基础，这些科学家将从所要求的升级中受益。 要求的升级包括Macintosh计算平台（美国公司）。 ***
