Graphics Equipment for Data Analysis

Abstract

This grant is a DURIP instrumentation grant. The focus of the grant was to purchase a high-end graphics workstation for statistical data analysis. Our concepts was for the development of a tool that we called data set mapping. This tool will prove beneficial in data sets that are difficult to visualize due to multi-dimensionality. The basic idea is to interface the high and workstation with a high performance minisupercomputer, in our case the Intel iPSC/2 d4/VX, so that processors of the hypercube are tied to graphics windows. The windows are virtual pieces of paper with dynamical graphics in each. This tool is highly interactive. It is assumed that this workstation is on an ethernet with a parallel processor, such that the parallel processor is capable of providing an engine for intense numerical calculations.
