9727134 Lasaga This grant provides partial support of the costs of upgrading computer facilities for the geochemistry research group at Yale University. New hardware purchases will include 2 DEC alpha workstations with 64 bit RISC architectures, X-terminals to provide additional access to these new workstations, PC's, a Macintosh compatible workstation, a laptop computer, EXABYTE tape drives and a high performance video card for graphics-intensive applications. The geochemistry group at Yale is at the forefront of geochemical model development. Research on dissolution kinetics of aluminosilicates and the effects of water on the kinetics of silicate melt crystallization utilize ab initio quantum mechanical models and Monte Carlo methods to model reactions and are highly computationally intensive. Future research will be aimed at modeling mass transport in hydrothermal systems. Code will be developed to model, isotopic exchange between moving fluids and mineral grains, growth and dissolution of framework silicates and metasomatic reactions. Existing computational facilities are now out-of-date given the rapidity of obsolescence in the computer industry and the capabilities of new workstations will be immediately beneficial to this group and their students. ***

9727134 拉萨加 这笔赠款为耶鲁大学地球化学研究小组升级计算机设施的费用提供部分支持。 新购买的硬件将包括 2 个具有 64 位 RISC 架构的 DEC alpha 工作站、提供对这些新工作站的额外访问的 X 终端、PC、Macintosh 兼容工作站、笔记本电脑、EXABYTE 磁带驱动器和用于图形的高性能显卡。密集应用。 耶鲁大学的地球化学小组处于地球化学模型开发的最前沿。 铝硅酸盐的溶解动力学和水对硅酸盐熔融结晶动力学的影响的研究利用从头算量子力学模型和蒙特卡罗方法来模拟反应，并且计算量很大。 未来的研究将致力于模拟热液系统中的质量传输。 将开发代码来模拟移动流体和矿物颗粒之间的同位素交换、骨架硅酸盐的生长和溶解以及交代反应。 鉴于计算机行业过时的速度，现有的计算设施现在已经过时，而新工作站的功能将立即使该小组及其学生受益。 ***
