Acquisition of a Linux computer cluster for Space Geodetic Research at the University of Miami

0930028 Amelung该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。 赠款将用于支持罗森斯蒂尔海洋和大气科学学院的计算机设施升级。 包括Falk Amelung、Tim狄克逊和Shimon Wdowinski在内的三名教职员工及其学生将采用Sun双四核CPU的多节点集群（ca. 288个岩心），用于研究需要并行处理大型全球定位系统和干涉合成孔径雷达（干涉合成孔径雷达）测量结果的构造和火山地壳变形过程。 这一升级将促进PI研究与减轻火山和地震灾害有关。

0930028AmelungThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). Granted funds will support upgrade of compute facilities at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. Three faculty members including Falk Amelung, Tim Dixon and Shimon Wdowinski and their students will employ a multi node cluster of Sun dual quadcore CPUs (ca. 288 cores) running LINUX for research on tectonic and volcanic crustal deformation processes requiring parallel processing of large GPS and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) measurements. PI research that will be facilitated by this upgrade has relevance to volcanic and earthquake hazards mitigation.
