Graphics support ranges from standard workstations to the highest performing commercially available systems. One of the graduate labs.
Servers provide support for centralized files and backups.
Work on immersive environments involves the use of manipulation and locomotion interfaces, supported by a dedicated four processor R12K SGI Onyx-2, with two attached Infinite Reality 2 graphics pipes. IKOS Hermies logic emulation system, used to simulated complex circuits as part of out computer architecture design efforts. SGI workstation serving as the hardware host for research on novel memory controllers. We are able in-house to design parts, automatically generate process plans, and then mill the parts out of metal. The department operates its own hardware repair facility, greatly assisting in workstation and network maintenance.
