Abstract
The future NII will require scalable high performance computers, advanced
high speed computer communications networks, and advanced software.
We refer to these enabling technologies as InfoVISION technologies
for supporting multimedia information applications in an High Performance
Computing and Communications (HPCC) environment.
NPAC is currently evaluating and demonstrating information on demand
technologies and applications for a variety of information sources.
Our prototype development laboratory is based on high performance parallel
and distributed computing systems, local area ATM networks, and NYNET
a high speed, state wide ATM network.
