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

Nawab，S. Hamid Castanon，大卫A. 波士顿大学 MRI：购置计算机设备以支持跨学科的多数据信号和成像处理实验室 所要求的仪器将用于建立一个专用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八名教师及其学生提供服务。 这些设备是为了在该部建立一个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，使新的多模态信号和图像处理项目，通过访问各种I/O设备，并通过使跨学科的工作更容易与共同的软件环境和快速的数据存储和计算平台的存在，增强当前和悬而未决的研究项目。 拟议的设备包括：1）一个具有大量核心内存的计算引擎，为跟踪具有挑战性的计算问题提供必要的工具; 2）一个专用数据服务器; 3）具有不同计算能力和类型的多个卫星计算机，以及4）被选择以提供最先进的捕获、存储、操纵，以及在与信号和图像处理研究和教育相关的主要功能领域的演示能力。

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.
