Acquisition of UCSC Scientific Visualization Laboratory

加州大学圣克鲁兹分校（UCSC）将获得一个高速多处理器图形系统，该系统带有相关的大型磁盘阵列、用于高质量插图的视频设备，以及用于大型立体显示的虚拟工作台，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、物理学等领域的研究。还有科学传播。该设施将支持新的科学可视化技术的发展，以加速可视化，分析最终图像的有效性和有用性，比较正式的替代可视化方法，表示数据不确定性，并探索物理上合理的数据插值方法。将开发协作和远程可视化系统，以及适当的用户界面。该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课堂和实验室的科学可视化实验室。USCS在通过使用计算机模拟和数据可视化的电影和电视纪录片向更多公众观众进行宣传方面具有经验。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.
