Acquisition of a Linux PC Cluster for Joint Geodynamical and Seismological Research at Arizona State University

这笔赠款为亚利桑那州立大学地球物理研究小组的计算能力升级提供支持。资金将用于购买运行Linux的个人计算机集群，用于开发和运行模拟热化学地幔动力学的最新代码，并用于北美大陆之下地壳和地幔结构的地震学调查。该设施将支持研究生教育，开发的代码将免费提供。*

0732741McNamaraThis grant provides support for an upgrade to the computation capabilities of the geophysics research group at Arizona State University. Funds will be used to purchase a PC compute cluster running LINUX that will be employed for the development and running of state-of-the-art codes for modeling thermochemical mantle dynamics and for seismological investigations of crustal and mantle structure beneath the North American continent. The facility will support graduate student education and developed codes will be made freely available.***
