9724237 Wilhelms，Jane加州大学，圣克鲁斯 收购UCSC科学可视化实验室 加州大学萨纳特克鲁兹分校（UCSC）将获得一个高速多处理器图形系统，配有大型磁盘阵列、高质量插图视频设备和大型立体显示器虚拟工作台，以支持天文学、生物学、化学、计算机科学与工程、地球科学、海洋科学、物理学和科学传播等领域的研究。 该设施将支持开发新的科学可视化技术，以加速可视化，分析最终图像的有效性和有用性，正式比较替代可视化方法，表示数据的不确定性，并探索物理合理的数据插值方法。 将开发协作和远程可视化系统，沿着适当的用户界面。 这些设备将提供给从事计算机科学和自然科学研究的研究生和本科生。 现有的教学实验室将连接到科学可视化实验室的班级和实验室。 USCS在通过电影和电视纪录片利用计算机可视化模拟和数据向广大公众宣传方面有经验。 科学可视化设备将加强这些现有的努力。

9724237 Wilhelms, Jane University of California, Santa Cruz Acquisition of a UCSC Scientific Visualization Laboratory The University of California, Sanat Cruz (UCSC) will be acquiring a high-speed multi-processor graphics system with associated large disk array, video equipment for high-quality illustration, and a virtual workbench for large stereo display to support research in astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science and engineering, earth science, ocean science, physics, and science communication. This facility will support the development of new scientific visualization techniques to speed up visualization, to analyze validity and usefulness of final images, to compare formally alternative visualization methods, to represent data uncertainty, and to explore physically justified data-interpolation methods. Collaborative and remote visualization systems will be developed, along with appropriate user interfaces. The equipment will be available to graduate students and undergraduate students working on research in computer science and the natural sciences. An existing teaching laboratory will be connected to the scientific visualization laboratory for classes and laboratories. USCS has experience in outreach to the larger public audience through film and TV documentaries using computer visualizations of simulations and data. The scientific visualization equipment will enhance these existing efforts.
