The large amounts of data gathered by UTIG’s researchers require a matching data-processing capability. UTIG’s computing facilities encompass a broad range of hardware and software including an 8-processor SGI Origin-2000 parallel computer and a 24-node cluster computer. UTIG researchers use high-end graphic workstations with visualization software to process and analyze seismic refraction, seismic reflection, and multibeam bathymetric data sets. They can take advantage of numerous graphical input and output devices for the visual presentation of research results: high-resolution color scanners, slide makers, and printers and large-format plotters capable of outputting to various media types. Primary data storage consists of approximately 4000 GB of data configured in several RAIDs (Redundant Arrays of Independent/Inexpensive).
