Experimental Facilities for Application-Directed System Synthesis

该基础设施奖提供用于视频编码和图像理解以及快速周转系统合成领域的计算基础设施。前一个研究领域需要海量数据存储和专用视频处理器。后一个领域需要快速模拟。根据该合同提供的基础设施包括专用计算视频设备和存储设备以及两个研究领域所需的高速工作站。数字高清电视需要大量的内存和强大的处理能力。该基础设施合同为数字视频成像和处理调查提供研究设备。该合同还为计算机系统的快速模拟提供了非常高速的工作站。这种能力将使这些系统能够更快地发展。

This Infrastructure Award provides computational infrastructure for use in the areas of video coding and image understanding and fast-turnaround system synthesis. The former research area requires massive data stores and special purpose video processors. The latter area requires fast simulations. The infrastructure provided under this award includes both the special purpose computational video equipment and storage devices and the high speed workstations necessary for both research areas. Digital High Definition Television requires massive amounts of memory and substantial processing power. This infrastructure award is providing research equipment for investigations into digital video imaging and processing. The award also provides for a collection of very high speed workstations for the rapid simulation of computer systems. This capability will allow these systems to be much more rapidly developed.
