The Visualization Laboratory of the University of Puerto Rico High Performance Computing Facility: Establishment of a HPCC Facility Supporting Scientific Research in Puerto Rico

9977805COMER该奖项主要为设备和软件提供支持，以创建波多黎各大学系统的分布式可视化实验室。这一设施将提供专门的设备和技术支持资源，使教师有能力分析研究数据，并有可能为本科生和研究生教育开发基于视觉的课程材料。这一分布式设施的网络性质将允许共享资源和快速交换丰富的图像信息。最初的用户将包括圣胡安医学院和波多黎各大学里约皮德拉斯和马亚圭斯校区的研究人员和教育工作者，随后将关注与NAIC阿雷西博天文台和国际热带林业研究所有关的研究人员的需求。一个可视化资源开发中心、一个科学可视化中心和一个图像处理中心将设在Mayaguez园区，一个科学可视化中心将设在里约皮德拉斯园区。这一基础设施将使波多黎各许多不同学科领域的研究人员能够充分利用高性能计算和因特网二期连接所提供的丰富机会。与大陆研究人员的重要合作也可能成为可能。

9977805COMIERThis award provides support, primarily for equipment and software, to create a distributed Visualization Laboratory for the University of Puerto Rico system. This facility will make available specialized equipment and technical support resources to allow faculty imaging capabilities in analysis of research data and the potential to develop visually-based course materials for undergraduate and graduate education. The networked nature of this distributed facility will allow sharing of resources and the rapid exchange of image rich information. Initially users will include researchers and educators from the Medical School in San Juan and the Rio Piedras and Mayaguez campuses of the University of Puerto Rico, with subsequent attention to the needs of researchers associated with the NAIC Arecibo Observatory and the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. A Visualization Resource Development Center, a Scientific Visualization Center and an Image Processing Center will be located at the Mayaguez campus and a Scientific Visualization Center will be placed at the Rio Piedras campus. This infrastructure will allow researchers in Puerto Rico from many different subject areas to take full advantage of the rich opportunities provided by high performance computing and Internet II connectivity. Important collaborations with mainland researchers may also become feasible.
