Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Databases and Supercomputing


With the addition of eight X-terminals to the Visualization Lab, two faculty members were able to teach classes as part of their regular curriculum. This is in addition to 100+ people that have attended the GIS classes taught by the IT staff. UC Davis hosted the "GIS and Special Data Analysis Colloquium" attended by 65+ people from all UC campuses.

There are currently over 400 people on campus using the genetic information in the databases maintained by the staff.

The IT staff has also continued support of super computing through the use of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center (PSC), the Cornell Smart Node and other sites. While SDSC has been UC Davis' primary site with 150+ users, the PSC Campus Workshop was well attend by 200+ people.
