Undergraduate Scientific and Engineering Visualization Laboratory (USEVL) at the University of Pennsysvania.

由诺曼·I·巴德勒教授指导的本科生科学与工程可视化实验室(USEVL)的重大扩建。基于主任现有的国家和国际认可的计算机图形学工作，USEVL将用于可视化的现代高性能工作站纳入本科生课程和体验。可视化提供了进入现代高性能计算的最直接和最令人兴奋的途径。计算机科学专业的学生不仅学到了高速工作站的原理和用法，而且还学到了科技教育的许多其他方面。相反，非计算机专业(即其他工程和科学专业)的学生发现，可视化的力量可以应用于他们自己学科的基本概念和应用。该开发通过增加五个工作站和一个快速文件服务器，扩展了四个Silicon Graphics Iris 4D工作站的现有教育图形核心。现有的内部免费商业软件将用于为USEVL设施提供即时可用性。

A major expansion of an Undergraduate Scientific and Engineering Visualization Laboratory (USEVL) to be directed by Professor Norman I. Badler. Based on the Director's existing nationally and internationally recognized Computer Graphics effort, the USEVL brings modern high-performance workstations for visualization into the Undergraduate curriculum and experience. Visualization provides the most direct and exciting pathway into modern high-performance computing. Not only does the Computer Science student learn the principles and use of high-speed workstations, but the experience carries over into many other aspects of scientific and technological education. Conversely, non-Computer Science majors (that is, other Engineering and Science majors), discover that the power of visualization can be applied to the fundamental concepts and applications of their own disciplines. The development expands the existing educational graphics nucleus of four Silicon Graphics Iris 4D workstations by adding five workstations plus a fast fileserver. Existing in-house and no-cost commercial software will be used to provide instant usability for the USEVL facility.
