PDR Catalog

This page is intended to facilitate several things:

1. Deciding what devices, components, or potentially even software packages to buy for benchmarking or other project activities.
2. Sharing the items we already have, as well as the expertise concerning them.
3. Communicating the breadth of items being used for PDR work to other project members.
4. Collecting information about interesting items that are comparable along various dimensions, but that we do not currently wish to buy.

Please add items of interest by clicking on the 'Add another benchmark unit' button at the bottom of the page. You may edit an existing item by clicking on the arrow next to it.
