Equipment:
MCL has powerful computing
facilities: An Abekus Diskus-60 digital disk recorder provides video storage
and editing capability. A Sun Fire 4800 8-processor server and Hitachi’s smart disk array cluster of 2 TBytes
capacity serve as a storage server. The Sapphire Beowulf cluster – a 20-PC
dual-processor rack-mounted computer stack – serves as the computation
platform for multimedia communications.
