Creating a Kentucky vBNS GigaPOP

该奖项是根据ANIR的“连接到互联网”公告NSF 98-102的高性能连接部分颁发的。 它为DS-3到vBNS的连接提供两年的部分支持。应用涉及基于n维物理的可视化，创建“视觉环境”，包括支持图像引导手术的医学成像，3D虚拟现实数字成像和VRML开发，药物开发的分子建模，以及广域网环境中的分布式共享内存多计算。 其他工作包括智能肽库搜索，利用仪器远程操作的材料研究，以及行星大气研究的一般循环研究。 合作机构包括：康奈尔理论中心，哈佛医学院，布里格姆妇女医院，厄巴纳-香槟的NCSA，橡树岭国家实验室，肯塔基州大学，J. B。速度艺术博物馆和卢茨微加工实验室。

This award is made under the high performance connections portion of ANIR's "Connections to the Internet" announcement, NSF 98-102. It provides partial support for two years for a DS-3 connection to the vBNS. Applications involve n-dimensional physics based visualizations, creation of a "vision environment" that includes medical imaging in support of image guided surgery, 3D virtual reality digital imaging and VRML development, molecular modeling for pharmaceuticals development, and distributed shared memory multi-computing in a wide-area networking environment. Other efforts include intelligent peptide library searching, materials research utilizing remote operation of instrumentation, and the study of general circulation of planetary atmospheric research. Collaborating institutions include: Cornell Theory Center, Harvard Medical School, Brigham Women's Hospital, NCSA at Urbana-Champaign, Oak-Ridge National Laboratory, University of Kentucky, J. B. Speed Art Museum, and the Lutz Microfabrication Laboratory.
