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 BillenThis奖是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助。 赠款将用于支持戴维斯的加州大学地质系计算机设施的升级。 将获得一个在美国组装和测试的120 CPU计算集群，240 GB RAM。 该计算设施将支持一系列数值密集型地球动力学研究，包括阿拉斯加南部俯冲带三维变形场的建模研究、山脊俯冲、地幔柱-俯冲相互作用、大洋高原变形和俯冲和地幔混合过程中的地壳碎片增生。 该集群还将支持开发用于控制3D沉浸式虚拟现实环境的新算法。 学生将接受最先进的并行代码开发和测试培训。***
