Facilities
We contribute technical resources, comfortable environments, and latest satellite data to advanced arctic researches.
Each IJIS User has access to an array of computer and output hardware, applications and programming software. IJIS is primarily a UNIX environment with computer hardware provided by Sun Microsystems (Sun).
IJIS Users can also have Windows environment in their cubicles, which primarily provides applications for image data processing. Basic office equipment is also available in the cubicle.
For more information about computing resources available for users, please consult following pages. If you are interested in using IJIS, please read "Qualification for IJIS Users."
Hardware
Linux and Unix servers cluster of high performance provide large power of numeric calculation to researchers. High- capacity storages allow you to deal with copious satellite images. There are also Windows and Linux workstations in several cubicles. Three printers and a plotter are available.
Software
Linux and Unix servers, which are clustered by Sun Microsystems N1 Grid Engine, hold several compilers to run your program. Installed Windows and Linux software in the user workstations can be used for your purpose.
Research environment
We provide 33 cubicles for researchers, 15 of which are equipped with Linux and Windows workstations. You can also use a meeting room for your consultation and discussion.
