Upgrade of the Alliance for Computational Earth Science (ACES) high performance computing facility

[0948438]哈格：这笔拨款用于升级目前由麻省理工学院计算地球科学联盟（ACES）维护的计算机设施。ACES管理麻省理工学院两个学院的三个学术部门的集群计算资源。大约1/3的处理器位于地球物理子簇ACES-GEO中。ACES-GEO Pis将从THINKMATE购买一台预组装的集群机器，其中包括一个控制节点、至少11个计算节点和一个交换单元。节点配置将包括多个四核英特尔CPU、海量RAM和存储容量。新的集群将支持计算密集型PI和学生研究，包括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、陆地形态演化和残余磁化反演。该集群将支持四位助理教授的计算需求，其中两位是女性。

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.
