Scalable Interactive Visual Computing Infrastructure for Modeling, Training and Planning

Abstract

The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of one GPU cluster and file server, one tiled display, and various devices (HMD, tracking instrumentation, etc.) for an interactive VR system. The P.I., Professor Guoning Chen, of the University of Houston will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the areas of virtual reality and modeling for training and both scientific and information visualization.
