CC-NIE Network Infrastructure: CADIS -- Cyberinfrastructure Advancing Data-Interactive Sciences

现代科学研究通常涉及通过广泛的处理管道对非常大的数据集进行编组，然后才能提取出可用的信息。这种类型的数据密集型研究的例子包括对时变医学图像的近实时分析，解码各种生物系统的遗传结构，模拟双星系统的合并，模拟化学反应罐中复杂的流动结构，以及确定如何有效地与超高分辨率的月球和行星数据相互作用。CADIS项目提供了关键的网络基础设施，使路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）能够进行广泛的数据密集型研究活动。CADIS将位于校园和其他州和国家设施的高性能计算机系统连接到路易斯安那州立大学最先进的新建筑-路易斯安那州数字媒体中心（LDMC）。作为多种数据密集型研究活动的中心，LDMC拥有高分辨率显示技术和定制可视化系统，并致力于数字计算，媒体制作和先进的教学方法。CADIS通过促进实验仪器和大规模计算模拟的实际数据集的使用，以及新颖的可视化方法的课堂应用，增强了学生的学习体验。CADIS还有望为路易斯安那州立大学的研究人员和路易斯安那州日益增长的数字媒体行业之间的合作开辟新的机会。

Modern scientific research often involves the marshaling of very large data sets through extensive processing pipelines before usable information can be extracted. Examples of this type of data-intensive research include the near real-time analysis of time-varying medical images, decoding the genetic structure of diverse biological systems, simulating the merger of binary star systems, modeling complex flow structures in chemical reaction tanks, and determining how to effectively interact with extraordinarily high-resolution lunar and planetary data.The CADIS project provides the critical networking infrastructure that enables this wide range of data-intensive research activities at Louisiana State University (LSU). CADIS links high-performance computer systems located on campus and at other state and national facilities to a new state-of-the-art building at LSU -- the Louisiana Digital Media Center (LDMC). Serving as a center for diverse, data-intensive research activities, the LDMC houses high resolution display technologies and custom visualization systems and is dedicated to digital computation, media production, and advanced teaching methods. CADIS enhances student learning experiences by facilitating the use of actual data sets from experimental instruments and large-scale computational simulations, and the classroom application of novel visualization methods. CADIS also is expected to open new opportunities for collaboration between LSU researchers and the growing digital media industry across Louisiana.
