Upgrading of the CERI Computing Services

0214206威尔斯这笔赠款为孟菲斯大学地震研究与信息中心(CERI)的计算设施升级提供支持。将购买的设备包括两台SUN多CPU服务器、一套磁盘阵列系统、一套磁带备份系统、两台彩色打印机和几个单独的工作站。该设备将促进CERI的一系列职能，包括作为州和地方政府对减轻新马德里断裂带周围地震灾害感兴趣的信息中心的角色，维护关于地震灾害的公共宣传计划，与美国地质勘探局合作维护美国中部和东部的地震活动数据库，以及基础地震学和大地测量研究和教育。欧洲核子研究中心的几名研究人员，包括米奇·威瑟斯、阿奇·约翰斯顿、迈克尔·埃利斯、罗伯特·斯莫利和查克·兰斯顿，将利用这种设备进行地震地震学、地幔层析和活动边缘板块运动学的研究。***

0214206WithersThis grant provides support for an upgrade of the computational facilities at the Center for Earthquake Research and Information (CERI), University of Memphis. Equipment to be purchased will include two SUN multi-CPU severs, a RAID system, a tape backup system, two color printers, and several individual workstations. This equipment will facilitate a multitude of CERI functions including, a role as an information center for state and local governments interested in mitigating seismic hazards surrounding the New Madrid Fault Zone, maintenance of a public outreach program on earthquake hazards, maintenance of the central and eastern U.S. seismicity database in collaboration with the USGS, and basic seismological and geodetic research and education. Several researchers at CERI including Mitch Withers, Arch Johnston, Michael Ellis, Robert Smalley and Chuck Langston will employ this equipment for research in earthquake seismology, mantle tomography and active margin plate kinematics. ***
