Mission

The Center for Visual Computing was established to advance visual computing studies at SUNY Stony Brook, to promote research and education in Visual Computing, to attract major federal and state funding, to motivate industry to collaborate with the Computer Science department, and to foster interdisciplinary interaction. Visual computing research activities include: visualization, computer graphics, image processing, medical imaging, virtual reality, user interfaces, computer-supported collaborative work, computer-aided design, multimedia, and computational geometry.

Details

Among the projects are: 

  • CUBE, an architecture for volume visualization hardware,
  • VolVis, a volume oriented tool for rendering images,
  • Virtual Colonoscopy, a tool which enables the user to take data from a CT scan and use it for a virtual ride through a patients colon.

NCS-330/348

Mission

Perform research on topics related to mobile ad hoc networks, wireless local area networks, wireless sensor networks and pervasive computing applications. We are also interested in building detailed simulation models of wireless systems and parallelization techniques for speeding up such large-scale simulations.

Details

The Wireless Networking and Systems (WINGS) Lab is engaged in research in several areas of wireless networking and mobile computing systems, specifically focusing on protocol development and evaluation in the link layer and up. The students and faculty in the lab have contributed in various directions including multiple access protocols, routing protocols, transport protocols, ad hoc, mesh and sensor networking, vehicular networking, RFID networks, cellular networking and dynamic spectrum access systems.

Mission

Create a network RAM server which will function in a similar manner as a network fileserver does for user files. Develop a system that provides huge quantities of memory for user applications over fast, low latency network ( 1 Gb/sec).

Details

The target platform for the prototype NMS consists of a cluster of 64-bit Alpha 21164-based PC-class machines, each equipped with at least 1GB of RAM and approximately 10GB of disk backing store, and connected by a high-speed (1.2Gb/sec) Myrinet interconnect which will be dedicated to the network paging function. Each machine will also be equipped with standard 100Mb/sec Fast Ethernet interface for general-purpose communication using IP.
