Equipment in Support of Parallel Processing Research

将为华盛顿大学电气工程和计算机科学系的研究人员提供一个超立方体并行处理器。该设备是在计算机和信息科学与工程研究仪器资助计划下提供的。本设备的研究方向为：1.开发用于计算机辅助设计的并行分层(电路、门、系统)仿真系统。2.研究并实现了噪声环境下多信号源最大似然估计的并行迭代算法。3.开发并行系统设计和调试的软件方法学。

A hypercube parallel processor will be provided for researchers at Washington University for the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This equipment is provided under the Instrumentation Grants for Research in Computer and Information Science and Engineering program. The research for which the equipment is to be used will be in the area(s) of: 1. Developing parallel hierarchical (circuit, gate, system) simulation system for use in computer aided design. 2. Research and implementation of a parallel iterative algorithm which performs maximum likelihood estimation of a multi-signal source in a noisy environment. 3. Developing software methodologies for concurrent system design and debugging.
