EIA-9977218Hansen, CharlesCohen, ElaineUniversity of UtahMRI: Acquisition of an Experimental Testbed for Computer GraphicsThe proposal requests a large-scale, multi-processor compute engine with which they plan to investigate alternative rendering strategies with potential suitability for desktop systems in a decade or so. Because of the many trade-offs between image quality, rendering speed, and interactivity that must be considered, this work is highly experimental in nature and requires dedicated computing power sufficient for software implementation of possible approaches able to run interactively. The value of improved interactive rendering will be demonstrated in a broad range of application areas, including architectural walkthroughs, terrain rendering, computer-aided geometric design, medical imaging, and scientific visualization.

EIA-9977218 Hansen，CharlesCohen，Elaine University of UtahMRI：收购计算机图形学实验测试床该提案要求一个大规模、多处理器的计算引擎，他们计划利用该引擎来研究替代的渲染策略，这些策略可能在十年左右的时间内适用于桌面系统。由于必须考虑图像质量、渲染速度和交互性之间的许多权衡，这项工作本质上是高度实验性的，需要足够的专用计算能力来实现能够交互运行的可能方法的软件实现。改进的交互式渲染的价值将在广泛的应用领域中得到展示，包括建筑漫游、地形渲染、计算机辅助几何设计、医学成像和科学可视化。
