Connection to the vBNS

该奖项是在NCRI的“连接到互联网”公告的高性能连接部分下颁发的，NSF 96-64。它通过位于伊利诺伊州Downers Grove的MCI POP建立与非常高性能骨干网服务（vBNS）的连接，为华盛顿大学的研究需求提供了DS-3连接的部分支持。该提案中的项目包括：神经科学、电子放射学、行星数据库、物理计算项目、基因组序列分析和用于科学合作的工作室质量视频。凭借这种高性能网络能力，华盛顿大学将扩大目前与学术机构和联邦实验室的研究和合作。在这个项目中，合作机构包括：圣地亚哥超级计算机中心、加州大学圣地亚哥分校、加州大学洛杉矶分校、亨利福特医院、密歇根大学、喷气推进实验室、NCSA、橡树岭国家实验室、科罗拉多大学、加州大学圣巴巴拉分校和印第安纳大学。

This award is made under the high performance connections portion of NCRI's "Connections to the Internet" announcement, NSF 96-64. It provides partial support for a DS-3 connection to the enhance and accommodate research needs for Washington University by establishing a connection to the Very High Performance Backbone Network Service (vBNS) via the MCI POP in Downers Grove, IL. Projects in this proposal include: neuroscience, electronic radiology, planetary databases, computational projects in physics, genome sequence analysis, and studio quality video for scientific collaboration. With this high performance network capability the Washington University will expand current research and collaboration with both academic institutions and federal laboratories. On this project, collaborating institutions include: San Diego Supercomputer Center, University of California at San Diego, University of California at Los Angeles, Henry Ford Hospital, University of Michigan, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NCSA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, University of Colorado, University of California at Santa Barbara, and University of Indiana.
