      Workstations:
       We use Xi MTower 2P64, 2xAMD Opteron 2220 64Bit
       dual-core 2048KB cache, 4096MB RAM, nVidia GeForce
       8600 GTS 512MB, two 400GB 7200RPM SATAII 300MB/s
       with two Apple Cinema HD 23" displays running dual-
       bootable Linux and Windows


       Workstation Software:
       Surface Modeling System (SMS), ArcGIS, Global Mapper,
       Fugawi Electronic NOAA Bathymetric Charts, USA
       Photomaps, Google Earth Pro, Corpscon, Fortran 90, C++,
       Matlab, Mathematica, GMT, Image Magick

       
       RAID Servers:

       Apollo - Apple Xserve with two 2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon
       processors (8 core) with 8 GB memory and two 73 GB SAS
       ADM@15000 rpm hard drives; Apple 10 TB Xserve RAID (14x750 GB
       Ultra ATA). This RAID server functions as our primary storage.

       Hermes - Apple Xserve with two 2.66 GHz dual-core Intel Xeon
       processors (4 core) with 8 GB memory and two 80 GB Serial ATA
       drives; Apple 10 TB Xserve RAID (14x750 GB ADM). This RAID server
       functions as a full mirror system of our primary RAID.

       Athena - Apple Xserve with dual G5 processors; Apple G5 TB Xserve
       RAID (14x400 GB). This sytem serves our 65 node Apple Dual Core
       G5 cluster.

       Poseidon - Sun Fire X4500 x64 server with two AMD Opteron model
       dual-core 290 (2.8 GHz/1 MB) processors, 16 GB PC3200 DDR1/400
       memory; 36 TB disk (48 SATA 3.5" 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD). This
       system serves our 65 node Sun Fire high performance compute
       cluster.
