Chen process many, many images using group-developed software (on Matlab?). It uses dedicated computers (all in the lab?) to meet current needs, but Peng is concerned that it will not scale well. In addition to processing power, effort demands and produces copious amounts of data, currently stored on one-off, external hard drives.

History of request, and status

Oliver spoke with Peng in ~July during a facutly check-in session and first learned of this need.

Oliver again met with Pen on 8/14/13 and expressed concern that ChemIT didn't have the current capacity to dig into this (starting with needs assessment) at this time.

• We agreed I would create this "place-holder" to facilitate future discussion regarding Peng's lab's research computational-related needs.
