Researchers at the University of Illinois-Urbana will purchase a hypercube multiprocessor. The equipment will be used for research in computer science, including the following three research projects: (1) Design and implementation of sophisticated computer-aided design tools for VLSI that can run efficiently on the Hypercube multiprocessor. Specifically, tools will be developed for cell placement, wire routing, timing, logic and fault simulation, circuit extraction from mask layouts, and automatic test generation. (2) Intelligent heuristic searches for artificial intelligence applications. Strategies for parallel processing of heuristic searches on the Hypercube will be developed. Also to be considered will be program restructuring for parallel evaluation of logic programs. (3) Performance evaluation of the Hypercube system.

伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校的研究人员将购买一个超立方体多处理器。该设备将用于计算机科学研究，包括以下三个研究项目：(1)设计和实施可在Hypercube多处理器上高效运行的VLSI复杂计算机辅助设计工具。具体来说，将开发用于单元放置、导线布线、时序、逻辑和故障模拟、从掩模布局中提取电路以及自动测试生成的工具。(2)人工智能应用的智能启发式搜索。在超立方体上开发启发式搜索的并行处理策略。此外，还将考虑对逻辑程序进行并行评估的程序重组。(3) Hypercube系统性能评价。
