Upgrading the Computing System Used by the Geodesy and Geodynamics Group at OSU

0948863 bevis本基金支持俄亥俄州立大学地球科学学院大地测量学和地球动力学小组使用的计算机设备的升级。现代计算平台将立即服务于NSF资助的南美洲、格陵兰岛和南极洲的地壳运动大地测量学研究，支持海平面变化研究的全球垂直速度场的PI分析，以及GPS气象学和运动学定位工作。收购的具体设备包括五台基于英特尔（intel）的双核麦金塔（Macintosh）计算系统，每台系统都有16gb RAM和640gb硬盘。该计算设施将为PI的四名研究生和两名专业科学家提供服务。他的研究小组以及俄勒冈州立大学特里·威尔逊教授研究小组的学生。pi已经移植了大地测量处理包GAMIT/GLOBK，使其能够在Macintosh Xgrid系统上运行。这个修改版本的GAMIT/GLOBK将提供给任何麻省理工学院许可的用户。

0948863BevisThis grant supports upgrade of the computer facilities used by the Geodesy and Geodynamics group in the School of Earth Sciences (SES) at Ohio State University. Modern computational platforms will immediately serve NSF funded crustal motion geodetic research in South America, Greenland and Antarctica, PI analysis of the global vertical velocity field in support of studies of sea level change, and work in GPS meteorology and kinematic positioning. Specific equipment to be acquired includes five dual Intel-based quadcore Macintosh compute systems each with 16 Gb RAM and a 640 Gb hard drive. The compute facility will serve four graduate students and two professional staff scientists in PI Mike Bevis?s research group as well as students in Professor Terry Wilson's research group at OSU. The PIs have ported the geodetic processing package GAMIT/GLOBK to enable it to run on a Macintosh Xgrid system. This modified version of GAMIT/GLOBK would be available to any MIT licensed user.
