The Tufts linux cluster allows Eugene Morgan to work with large amounts of data within a reasonable time frame. They first used the cluster to interpolate sparse data points over a fairly large 3-dimensional space. The cluster has also dramatically sped up the calculation of semivariance for dozens of sections of seafloor containing vast numbers of data points, quickly performed thousands of Monte Carlo simulations, and computed statistics on one of the largest global wind speed datasets containing ~3.6 billion data points. They have most recently used the cluster find optimal parameters for rock physics equations using a genetic algorithm. Most of these activities have been or will be incorporated in technical publications.
