An important component of experimental computing is building prototypes
and test beds, and this requires having an experimental infrastructure.
This cluster provides support for the acquisition, enhancement, and
operation of experimental facilities for all CISE research and education
areas. Supported facilities range from instrumentation needed by a few
projects to major experimental facilities for an entire department.
Support is also provided to enhance the computational and human
infrastructure in minority-serving institutions and to support the
equipment needs of collaborative, distributed research projects. A goal
for the coming year is to support a wider range of infrastructure needs,
research projects, and institutions.
