Abstract
This proposal requests funding to replace our existing 3D imaging and rendering computers with new ultra-high performance Apple Mac Studio computers and Studio Display monitors for the student computer lab. In 2018 STF funded 4 27” Apple iMacs to support the reconstruction of 3D images from CT data along with other intensive DICOM large data sets. This equipment needs to be replaced as the students have larger and more complicated data to run and the applications used have changed significantly over the last 5 years and are even more demanding on the aging equipment. Friday Harbor Labs is an NSF funded center for generating CT scan data and our undergraduate students need a way to interact with the ever increasing large and more visually complex data sets.
