CISE Research Instrumentation: High Performance Networks and Visualization

小行星9422038 该奖项是购买ATM网络设备和一个高性能的可视化机器，以支持五个研究项目。 四个项目需要在超级计算机上对大量数据集进行预处理和后处理;这需要可视化图形功能和网络的高性能。 第五个项目需要网络来研究异构计算机网络的高性能交互仿真。 该网络将连接计算中心的140处理器Paragon与计算机科学系的研究实验室;它还将连接这些实验室中的各种机器。 高性能图形机将允许在实验室中有效地可视化大量数据集（3D到5D，数百兆字节）源于1）偏微分方程（5D数据集由在3个空间维度和时间上定义的函数生成），2）医学、地球物理和设计应用中的几何建模和成像，病毒和蛋白质的大分子结构分析。 图形机将与异构网络项目共享。 ***

9422038 Rice This award is to purchase ATM network equipment and a high performance visualization machine to support five research projects. Four projects need to pre- and post-process massive data sets on a supercomputer; this requires high performance for both visualization graphics capabilities and networking. The fifth project needs the network for its studies in high performance interactive simulation with networks of heterogeneous computers. The network will connect the 140-processor Paragon in the Computing Center with research laboratories in the Computer Science Department; it will also interconnect various machines in these laboratories. The high performance graphics machine will allow effective visualization in the laboratory of massive data sets (3D to 5D with hundreds of megabytes) arising from 1) partial differential equations (5D data sets are generated by functions defined on 3 space dimensions and time), 2) geometry modeling and imaging in medical, geophysical and design applications, and 3) macromolecular structure analysis for viruses and proteins. The graphics machine will be shared with the heterogeneous network project. ***
