Effective Use of Parallel Computing

华盛顿大学这个项目的主题是平行的 计算的 该奖项将有助于提供设备，维护和 支援人员，以加强现有的实验计算机研究 为了协调和促进该领域的工作， 并行计算 的 该部拥有在六个不同领域具有公认优势的小组 计算机科学：计算机体系结构，性能分析，图像 分析和图形，编程环境，计算机系统和 计算理论 在每一组中， 将进行，这将是不可能的，如果没有 基础设施支持。 这项工作将 利用共享内存的多处理器、网络化的多处理器， 一系列的工作站将获得资助，以及 从工业来源获得的其他设备， 从以前的NSF赠款。 除了提供设施， 在所述每个领域延长以前的捐款 预计将在以下方面取得重大进展： 全面理解和有效使用并行计算。

The theme of this project at the University of Washington is parallel computing. The award will aid in providing equipment, maintenance and support staff to enhance the existing experimental computer research facility in order to coordinate and stimulate work in the area of parallel computing. The Department has groups with recognized strengths in six distinct areas of computer science: computer architecture, performance analysis, image analysis and graphics, programming environments, computer systems and theory of computation. In each of these groups, significant research will be undertaken that would not be possible without the Infrastructure support. The work will utilize a shared-memory multiprocessor, a networked multiprocessor and a number of workstations to be acquired under the grant as well as other pieces of equipment acquired from both industrial sources and from previous NSF grants. In addition to providing facilities to allow extensions of the previous contributions in each of the areas noted above, it is expected that major steps forward will be made in the overall understanding and effective use of parallel computing.
