NMIMT HIGH SPEED CONNECTION TO THE vBNS & ABILENE NETWORKS

授予新墨西哥州矿业与技术研究所的这项合同将使NMIMT能够通过位于新墨西哥大学的新墨西哥州千兆网络获得到vBNS或Abilene网络之一或两者的低延迟、高带宽连接。这种连接使NMIMT的研究人员能够访问重要的国家计算资源，并为分布式群体互动进行新的语音和大屏幕显示技术的研究。此外，连接包括支持使用由国家射电天文台管理的射电望远镜(VLA和VLBA)，从而将这些资源纳入国家研究基础设施，造福于更大的社区。该奖项由CEISE/ANIR、MPS多学科活动办公室和MPS天文科学部共同支持。

This award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will enable NMIMT to acquire low-latency, high bandwidth connectivity to either or both of the vBNS or Abilene networks via the New Mexico gigapop located at the University of New Mexico. The connectivity allows NMIMT researchers to access important national computational resources and to conduct research in new voice and large format display technologies for distributed group interactions. In addition, the connectivity includes support for access to radio telescopes (VLA and VLBA) managed by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), thus bringing these resources into the national research infrastructure for the benefit of the larger community. This award is being jointly supported by CISE/ANIR, the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, and the MPS Division of Astronomical Sciences.
