Enhancement of the High Performance MultiMedia Computer Communications Laboratory

该项目的目的是为电气工程课程提供升级和创新的计算能力。已计划为各部门建立高速光纤骨干。在集群环境中，为每个部门提供一个高速工作站。一些较小的工作站（每个系4个，整个学院20个）位于每个系的每个高速工作站周围。这些工作站在本地处理一些计算，但是，如果负载增加，作业将提交到集群。工业类型工作站的增加使计算机通讯、数值方法等课程得以加强；学生和教师可以使用图像处理、数据可视化、并行处理、计算机网络和多媒体文档处理。为学生提供上网和Unix操作系统环境。此外，教师和学生可以使用更新和升级的系统，以支持创新的高级项目和研究。

The aim of this project is to provide upgraded and innovative computing capabilities for courses in electrical engineering. Plans have been made to establish a high- speed fiber optic backbone for all departments. One high- speed workstation, in a cluster environment, is being provided for each department. A few smaller workstations (four per department, and 20 for the entire College) are being located around each high speed workstation in each department. These workstations handle some computing locally, but, if the load increases, jobs will be submitted to the cluster. The addition of industrial-type workstations permits: courses in computer communications, numerical methods, etc. to be enhanced; students and faculty to have access to image processing, data visualization, parallel processing, computer networking and multimedia document processing. Students are being provided with access to the Internet and a Unix operating system environment. Also, faculty and students have access to updated and upgraded systems which support innovative senior projects and research.
