方案编号：12-29306PI(s): Mahmood, Akhtar H；阿拉姆，穆罕默德·S；Severini,霍斯特;Zain, Samya;机构：Bellarmine university职称：MRI/Acq项目建议：该项目来自EPSCoR州和非博士学位授予机构，获得一台高分辨率可视化仪器，旨在建立一个先进的可视化和计算实验室（AVCL），以实现高能物理的大规模数据密集型协同研究（数据分析，模拟和可视化任务）。该项目与俄克拉荷马大学、纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校和萨斯奎哈纳大学合作，涵盖了四个地理上分散的机构。此次收购的目标是一个具有成本效益的高分辨率平铺显示系统，提供协作可视化环境。这个可视化系统将被建造成一个瓷砖显示墙（16英尺宽，4.6英尺高），覆盖在一个充满用户的区域上。S的视野提供了一个看起来几乎无边界的显示。它将通过壁式处理器连接到多个Tier-4数据分析工作站，这样科学家就可以同时显示多个ATLAS数据事件。二维和三维可视化任务将使用Atlantis、GraXML和VP1可视化软件包进行。高能物理的研究和研究项目将被启用，包括但不限于对新型亚原子粒子的研究，如大型强子对撞机（LHC）的带电希格斯玻色子和超对称（SUSY）粒子，以及？寻找带电希格斯玻色子更广泛的影响：这种仪器增加了机构在具有成本效益的可视化系统中进行前沿研究的能力。由于大量数据无法以其他方式进行分析和研究，因此可视化是高能物理的基础。该可视化系统的获得将大大提高所有参与机构的研究能力。此外，该可视化系统的收购将作为全校范围内的资源，并提供一个特殊的机会，让学生参与到数据密集型计算科学、可视化和高能物理的前沿研究中来。通过这项努力，将强调培训学生（包括代表性不足的群体）以及传播知识。它的影响可能是巨大的。

Proposal #: 12-29306PI(s): Mahmood, Akhtar H; Alam, Mohammad S; Severini, Horst; Zain, Samya; Institution: Bellarmine UniversityTitle: MRI/Acq.: High Resolution Visualization System to Enable Large-Scale Data-Intensive Collaborative Research and Cyber-Learning using Grid ComputingProject Proposed:This project from an EPSCoR state and a non-PhD granting institution, acquiring a high resolution visualization instrument, aims to set up an Advanced Visualization and Computational Lab (AVCL) to enable large scale data-intensive collaborative research (data analyses, simulation, and visualization tasks) in high energy physics. In collaboration with University of Oklahoma, State University of New York at Albany, and Susquehanna University, the project spans four geographically dispersed institutions. The acquisition targets a cost-effective high-resolution tiled display system providing a collaborative visualization environment. This visualization system will be constructed as a tiled display wall (16- foot wide by 4.6-foot tall) over an area that fills a user?s field of view to provide a display that looks nearly borderless. It will be connected to several Tier-4 data analyses workstations via a wall processor, so that the scientists can simultaneously display multiple ATLAS data events all at once. 2D and 3D visualization tasks will be carried out using Atlantis, GraXML and VP1 visualization software package. The studies and research projects in high energy physics will be enabled, including, but not limited, to the research for new types of subatomic particles, such as the charged Higgs boson and Supersymmetric (SUSY) particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and ?Search for Charged Higgs Boson from tt Production?. Broader Impacts: This instrumentation increases institutional capacity to conduct cutting-edge research in cost-effective visualization system. Since the large amount of data cannot be otherwise analyzed and studied, visualization is fundamental for high energy physics. The acquisition of this visualization system should significantly increase the research capability within all the participating institutions. Moreover, the acquisition of this visualization system will serve as a campus-wide resource and provide an exceptional opportunity to engage students in research at the forefront of data-intensive computational science, visualization, and high-energy physics. Through this effort, student training (including underrepresented groups) will be emphasized, as well as the knowledge dissemination. Its impact may be significant.
