Matching funds are provided to upgrade an Alliant FX/1                     computer to an FX/8 4 element parallel processing computer that                 will serve as a general purpose computing facility in the                       Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at the                  Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The computer will reside as              a computational node on a newly installed MIT campus wide Ethernet              which links all departmental computing systems and will also be                 connected to Harvard University and Woods Hole Oceanographic                    Institution via high speed data channels.                                          The upgraded computer will provide essential computing                       resources for computer bound projects in many areas of earth                    sciences research, including seismology, convection modeling of                 the Earth's interior, planetary science, marine geology, and                    space based geodesy.
