Upgrade of Imaging Processing and Computer Facilities

威斯康星州大学天文系- 麦迪逊（UW）有一个积极的工作人员从事广泛的， 研究活动。 主机为VAX 11/780 十多年前购买的，用于与图像结合使用， 显示器和PDS板扫描装置。 该奖项部分 与华盛顿大学相匹配，将把计算设施升级到 现代一 该系统将包括SUN工作站， 中央服务器来处理图像处理和大量的数字 任务，一个较小的DEC设备（使用VMS），现有的磁盘， 外围设备和工作站将被连接，并单独 PC级机器控制升级的PDS。

The Department of Astronomy of the University of Wisconsin- Madison (UW) has an active staff engaged in a wide range of research activities. The primary computer is a VAX 11/780 purchased over a decade ago for use in conjunction with an image- display and PDS plate-scanning device. This award partially matched by the UW, will upgrade the computing facility to a modern one. The system will consist of SUN workstations with a central server to handle image-processing and heavy numerical tasks, a smaller DEC device (using VMS) to which existing disks, peripherals, and workstations will be connected, and a separate PC class machine to control an upgraded PDS.
