Computer Engineering Research Equipment

三个微VAX处理器正在购买，用于纯 模拟/仿真和主动分布式数据库系统 试验台 这些计算机放置在专用分布式 加工实验室和联网在一起。 计算机工程 该设施的研究大致分为两类， 分布式计算机系统和超大规模集成电路架构设计。 工作 该设备支持的分布式计算机系统包括 努力：了解不同参数和 组件对分布式数据库系统性能的影响; 分布式计算机调度算法的设计与评价 系统的信道接入协议的设计和评估， 局域网。

Three micro-VAX processors are being acquired to be used both for pure simulation/emulation and for an active distributed database systems testbed. These machines are placed in a Dedicated Distributed Processing Lab and are networked together. Computer engineering research at this facility broadly falls into two categories, distributed computer systems and design of VLSI architectures. Work in distributed computer systems supported by this equipment includes efforts in: understanding the effects that different parameters and components have on the performance of distributed database systems; the design and evaluation of scheduling algorithms for distributed computer systems; and the design and evaluation of channel access protocols for local area networks.
