0929759BillenThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). Granted funds will support upgrade of compute facilities in the Department of Geology at the University of California at Davis. A U.S. assembled and tested, 120 CPU compute cluster with 240 GB of RAM will be acquired. The computational facility will support a range of numerically intensive geodynamics research including modeling studies of 3-D deformation field in the Southern Alaska subduction zone, ridge subduction, plume-subduction interaction, oceanic plateau deformation and crustal-fragment accretion during subduction and mantle mixing. The cluster will also support development of new algorithms for control of 3-D immersive virtual reality environments. Students will be trained in state-of-the-art parallel code development and testing.***

0929759亿构奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。 授予的资金将支持加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校地质学系的计算设施升级。 将获得一个由240 GB RAM的美国组装和测试的120个CPU计算集群。 该计算设施将支持一系列数值密集的地球动力学研究，包括对阿拉斯加南部俯冲带，山脊俯冲，羽状相互作用，海洋高原变形和collag骨碎片构的3-D变形场的建模研究，期间俯冲和俯冲和地幔混合过程中。 该集群还将支持开发新算法，以控制3D沉浸式虚拟现实环境。 学生将接受最先进的并行代码开发和测试的培训。***
