MRI: Acquisition of Computer Facilities to Support an Interdisciplinary Multidata Signal and Image Processing Laboratory

波士顿大学核磁共振成像：购买计算机设施以支持跨学科的多数据信号和图像处理实验室所需的仪器将用于建立一个专门的跨学科信号和图像处理设施，为波士顿大学电气和计算机工程系的8名核心教员及其学生服务。该设备旨在开发该部统一的信号和图像处理计算设施。该设施将支持学生和教师的研究项目，通过访问各种I/O设备实现新的多模式信号和图像处理项目，并通过通用软件环境和快速数据存储和计算平台的存在，使跨学科工作变得更加容易，从而增强当前和待定的研究项目。拟议的设备包括：1)具有大量核心存储器的计算引擎，以提供跟踪具有挑战性的计算问题所需的工具；2)专用数据服务器；3)多个具有不同计算能力和类型的卫星计算机；以及4)各种输入和输出设备，用于在与信号和图像处理研究和教育相关的主要功能领域提供最先进的捕获、存储、操作和呈现能力。

EIA-9871159 Nawab, S. Hamid Castanon, David A. Boston University MRI: Acquisition of Computer Facilities to Support an Interdisciplinary Multidata Signal and Imaging Processing Laboratory The requested instrumentation will serve to establish a dedicated interdisciplinary signal and image processing facility, serving a core of eight faculty members and their students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boston University. The equipment is intended to develop a unified signal and image processing computing facility in the department. This facility will support student and faculty research projects, enabling new multi-modal signal and image processing projects through access to a variety of I/O devices and enhancing current and pending research projects by making cross-disciplinary work much easier with the existence of a common software environment and fast data storage and computing platforms. The proposed equipment consists of, 1) a computational engine with significant core memory to provide the necessary tools for tracking the challenging computational problems; 2) a dedicated data server; 3) a number of satellite computers of varying computational power and type, and 4) a wide variety of input and output devices chosen to provide state-of-the-art capture, storage, manipulations, and presentation capabilities in major functional areas associated with signal and image processing research and education.
