CISE Research Infrastructure: High Performance Graphics and Imaging

9502631 Hanrahan该合同提供了对高性能千兆翻次计算服务器、高性能3D图形服务器、高性能图像/视频/数据服务器以及将这些机器耦合在一起的高带宽网络的支持。所要求的设备将有助于建立一个新的计算机图形实验室的计算基础设施。许多国家面临的挑战，如卫生保健、教育、制造业和危机管理，都需要图形和成像技术。研究人员将在图形系统和算法领域工作，包括高效渲染算法、高性能图形架构以及耦合压缩和图形的研究；在科学可视化领域，研究用于科学和医学应用的体绘制；在视觉和图形学方面，研究三维模型的数字化；并在图像和视频的重点是图像和视频数据库的操作。

9502631 Hanrahan This award provides support for a high performance giga-flop compute server, a high performance 3D graphics server, a high performance image/video/data server, and a high bandwidth network to couple these machines together. The requested equipment will contribute to the computational infrastructure of a new computer graphics laboratory. Many national challenges such as health care, education, manufacturing, and crisis management, require graphics and imaging technologies. The investigators will be working in the areas of graphics systems and algorithms, involving research in efficient rendering algorithms, high-performance graphics architectures, and coupling compression and graphics; in scientific visualization with research in volume rendering for scientific and medical applications; in vision and graphics with research in the digitization of 3D models; and in imaging and video with a focus on the manipulation of image and video databases.
