Collaboratory For Microscopic Digital Anatomy

9318180 Ellisman高性能计算和通信（HPCC）的可用性增加，为科学家提供了有效的远程交互式使用集中，专业和昂贵的仪器和计算机的潜力。 这个国家挑战项目的目标是设计和实施一个协作计算环境，或显微数字解剖学协作实验室，为远程站点的研究人员提供分布式交互，并使用独特的仪器获取和操作生物结构的图像。 最初的重点将是开发一个集成系统，用于远程交互式采集和分析来自数字图像采集系统的二维和三维光和电子显微镜数据。 为了完成这项任务，一个多学科的团队代表了几个机构，包括加州，圣地亚哥，康奈尔大学和计算机图形学和科学可视化中心，和圣地亚哥超级计算机中心，已经组装，包括计算机科学家专门从事HPCC和体积可视化，和生物学家在计算机辅助光学和电子显微镜的专业知识。 该奖项将促进这些活动。 该项目得到了NSF多个项目的支持：计算机和信息科学新技术，细胞生物学，计算神经科学和计算生物学。

9318180 Ellisman The increased availability of High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) offers scientists the potential for effective remote interactive use of centralized, specialized, and expensive instrumentation and computers. The goal of this national challenge project is to design and implement a collaborative computational environment, or Collaboratory for Microscopic Digital Anatomy, providing a researcher at a remote site distributed interaction with unique instrumentation for the acquistion and manipulation of images of biological structure. The initial focus will be on the development of an integrated system for remote interactive acquistition and analysis of 2- and 3- dimensional light and electron microscopic data from digital image acquistion systems. To accomplish this task, a multidisciplinary team representing several institutions including the University of California , San Diego, Cornell University and the Center for Computer Graphics and Scientific Visualization, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center, has been assembled, including computer scientists specializing in HPCC and volume visualization, and biologists with expertise in computer-aided light and electron microscopy. This award will enable these activities. This project is being supported by several programs at NSF: New Technologies in Computer and Information Science, Cell Biology, Computational Neuroscience and Computational Biology.
