0948438HagerThis grants supports an upgrade of the computer facilities now maintained by the Alliance for Computational Earth Science (ACES) at MIT. ACES manages cluster computing resources for three academic departments spanning two schools at MIT. Approximately 1/3 of the processors are in the geophysics subcluster, ACES-GEO. ACES-GEO Pis will purchase a pre-assembled cluster machine from THINKMATE which would include a controlling node, at least 11 compute nodes and a switch unit. Node configurations will include multi Quad-core Intel CPU, massive RAM and storage capacities. The new cluster will support computationally intensive PI and student research involving geodynamical modeling of Earth and Planetary interiors, geodetic data analysis, cryosphere dynamical modeling, seismic imaging and interpretation, land form evolution, and inversion of remnant magnetization. The cluster will support the computational needs of four assistant professors, two of whom are women.

ACES为麻省理工学院两所学校的三个学术部门管理集群计算资源。大约三分之一的处理器在地球物理学子集群ACES-GEO中。 ACES-GEO Pis将从THINKMATE购买一台预装的集群机器，其中包括一个控制节点、至少11个计算节点和一个交换机单元。 节点配置将包括多个四核英特尔CPU、大容量RAM和存储容量。 新的集群将支持计算密集型PI和学生的研究，涉及地球和行星内部的地球动力学建模，大地测量数据分析，冰冻圈动力学建模，地震成像和解释，地形演变和剩余磁化反演。 该集群将支持四名助理教授的计算需求，其中两名是女性。
