High Performance Computing Assets for Ocean Acoustics Research

Abstract

The Shallow-Water Acoustics group at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is developing three-dimensional sound propagation models and software handling systems for very large data sets. Three high-performance workstations will allow the group to efficiently pursue this work. The work requires parallel computing, plus access for each processing unit to a large amount of memory. The three workstations will provide networked platforms for researchers to collaboratively develop and test prototype ocean acoustic propagation models and ocean dynamical models. They can also serve the large data sets generated by the models and by field experiments to collaborators.
