Upgrade to Geophysical Computing at the University of Texas at El Paso

这笔赠款支持升级德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的地震计算能力，并增强我们处理和解释环境地球物理数据的能力。该设备将主要用于从折射和反射数据集中询问大量地震数据，并运行地震层析和波形建模代码，包括全波形有限差分模拟。为了满足这些需要，我们将使用赠款资金购买一台具有足够计算能力的多CPU Unix服务器，以及两台专门用于环境地球物理项目的个人电脑。新电脑将取代过时的设备。这些计算设施将支持Pi、Kate Miller和Co-Pis、G.Randy Keller、Diane Doser、Steve Harder以及大约20名研究生和本科生的研究。

0112116MillerThis grant supports an upgrade to the seismological computing capability and enhancements to our ability to process and interpret environmental geophysical data at the University of Texas at El Paso. The equipment will be used primarily to interrogate huge volumes of seismic data from refraction and reflection data sets and to run seismic tomography and waveform modeling codes including full waveform finite difference simulations. To accommodate these needs we will use grant funds to purchase a multi-CPU Unix server with enough computing capacity for these tasks, as well as two PCs that will be dedicated to environmental geophysics projects. The new computers will replace outdated equipment. These computing facilities will support the research of PI, Kate Miller, and Co-Pis, G. Randy Keller, Diane Doser, Steve Harder, and ca. 20 graduate and undergraduate students.***
