The research laboratories in the Department of Computer Science at
UCSB at present which are relevant to this proposal are:
- Machine Vision Laboratory (VISION) (Smith, Wang) : The
laboratory contains six SUN workstations including a mix of
monochrome, gray scale, and color monitors, 2GB disk storage,
and two high resolution digital cameras for stereoscopic imaging.
- Distributed Systems Laboratory (DSL) (Agrawal, El Abbadi,
Singh, Su): This laboratory is equipped with SPARCstations, SUN-3
workstations and two SUN-3/260 fileservers.
- Theory of Computation Laboratory (TCL) (Egecioglu,
Gonzalez, Ibarra): This laboratory is equipped with 3 SPARCstations and 2 SUN-3
workstations.
- Concurrent Computation Laboratory (CCL) (Cappello): This laboratory houses 1 Sun
3/50, 1 Mac II, 1 laser printer, and 1 NeXT.
In 1993 the Computer Science department was awarded a CISE
(Computer, Information Science and Engineering) infrastructure grant
from the NSF for the purchase a massively parallel supercomputer, which
together with matching funds from UCSB exceeds $1.6M. The system chosen is a
64-node Meiko CS-2 with 64 SuperScalar Sparc Processing nodes, 32MB memory
per node, totaling 2GB; 8 1.2 GB Fast SCSI-II Disks, 9.6 GB Total;
16 SCSI-II Controllers, 8 Ethernet Interfaces, and 24 Sbus Slots.
The system will be installed in March 1994.
