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.
