Hardware Resources

The research group has established a high-performance computing environment to support its core research tasks in satellite navigation and positioning, which require large-scale data processing and complex algorithm simulation. The core infrastructure includes multiple dedicated high-performance servers (Inspur NF5280M4, Inspur NF5468M6, Dell R730/R740) and workstations (Dell T5810/T5820), equipped with multi-core processors (such as Intel Xeon E5 series, E5-2667 v4, and Xeon Gold 6234), large-capacity memory (up to 256 GB), and high-speed local storage, ensuring efficient numerical computation capabilities. In addition, the group is equipped with Dell graphics workstations to support tasks involving graphics rendering or compute-intensive workloads.

Focusing on satellite navigation and positioning research, the group has access to industry-grade professional instruments. These include multiple sets of high-precision receivers supporting BeiDou/GNSS, such as the Trimble NetR9 GNSS reference station receiver, the CHC Navigation NET20 Plus high-precision survey receiver, and the Unicore Communications (Shanghai SiNan) M300 BeiDou/GNSS reference station receiver. The group also possesses a rotational seismometer (R-2) and associated data acquisition devices, as well as seismic acquisition systems and accelerometers from Zhuhai Tide (TDE-324QI and TDA-33M), supporting research on crustal deformation, seismology, and multi-sensor fusion positioning algorithms.

The group actively employs advanced sensing technologies and has deployed an unmanned aerial vehicle (DJI M600 Pro) for remote-sensing data acquisition and aerial experimental platforms. In recent years, a laser LiDAR system (Livox MID-360) has also been introduced for three-dimensional scene perception and environmental mapping experiments. For software development and simulation, the group uses professional software environments such as Intel Parallel Studio XE Fortran OS X. Additional development-support equipment includes wireless positioning devices (Fixposition VISION-RTK), industrial cameras (Basler acA1920-40gm), various smartphones (Huawei, Xiaomi) for positioning data collection, and embedded development kits (EVK-M8P/M8T).

Comprehensive supporting infrastructure ensures efficient daily research operations. The group maintains multiple high-performance laptops (Apple MacBook Pro, Lenovo ThinkPad P15) and desktop computers (Dell OptiPlex series such as 7040MT and 7050MT) for programming, documentation, and lightweight computation. For information display and collaboration, the group is equipped with high-resolution monitors (e.g., Dell P2715Q 4K, AOC 34-inch ultrawide), a BenQ projector, a Huawei smart display (IFP-UG65), and Insta360 Link AI PTZ cameras, enhancing academic communication and collaborative research. Routine documentation is supported by HP multifunction laser printers (e.g., M277dw) and HP inkjet printers (Smart Tank 678). Additional supporting equipment includes portable power supplies and Haier freezers to meet specific experimental requirements.

In summary, the research group is equipped with a comprehensive set of resources—from high-performance computing systems and professional surveying and seismic instruments to UAVs, LiDAR systems, and complete office and information-processing infrastructure. These resources provide a solid foundation for high-precision GNSS algorithm development, data acquisition and analysis, multi-source information fusion, and geoscience-related research, enabling the group to effectively undertake high-quality and innovative scientific studies.
