Micrograph Data Processing Program

The Micrograph Data Processing Program (MDPP) is a fully-featured general purpose image processing package originally written to support research in structural biology requiring electron microscopy and image processing.

MDPP is supported under both VMS and UNIX operating systems. Specifically, support is provided for OpenVMS/IA64 V8.2, OpenVMS/AXP V7.3, Tru64 UNIX (OSF/1), and MacOSX 10.4 on G4/G5. (You should should also be able to build MDPP on SUN Solaris and SGI IRIX from the OSX codebase which is being developed now, but this is not an effort I will be undertaking here.)

Acknowledgments

Hewlett-Packard Corp. and Intel Corp. generously provided the resources to port MDPP to OpenVMS/IA64 on the Itanium platform.

The development of the MDPP represents a huge investment by the authors, and also of the funding agencies that have helped pay the development costs. The major contributor recently has been the National Science Foundation (NSF) which has contributed indirectly and directly through grant BIR-9410750.
