Abstract

EIA-9986052 Panda K. Dhabaleswar Ohio State University CISE Research Instrumentation: Network Computing Testbed for Interactive Visualization, Multimedia, and Metacomputing The Department of Computer and Information Science at the Ohio State University will purchase a network computing testbed (consisting of a set of Quad SMP Pentium systems, Gigabit Ethernet and Myrinet interconnects for intra-cluster communication, ATM interconnect for intra-cluster and WAN connectivity, a RAID File system, a set of 3D accelerator boards, and a video wall), which will be dedicated to support research in computer and information science and engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including in particular: Scalable Communication and Synchronization Support on SMP Clusters for Metacomputing. A High Performance Image-Based Warehouse Across Heterogeneous Environment Parallel Visualization and Display of Tera-scale Data Multimedia Processing and Networking on SMP Clusters
