This project will design and implement user interface systems for scientific and engineering computation, with special emphasis on the parallel computing environment. The work involves activity in several areas: graphical interaction and visualization, computation strategies, and domain specific research in computational fluid dynamics. The latter area serves as the "test bed" for the interface research. The overall objective is to provide the engineer and scientist with high performances, interactive computation environments that allow prototyping exploration ("what if?" experimentation) by combining interactive graphics, high performance (parallel) computation, with an intelligent interface that allows problem input in physical, rather than programmatic expression. Research on the user interface will enhance our present version by addition of such features as detection of problem based parallelism (such as embodied in singular perturbation problems). The interactive graphics work will concentrate on constraint based object-oriented systems. Emphasis is to be placed on the Model-View-Controller paradigm as a basis for the user's interaction with his prototype model to effect computational steering. The computation strategies research is concentrating on new models for parallel computing, such as object-oriented parallel computation, and the development of new parallel computation library modules to support engineering computation. The domain specific (computational fluid dynamics, or CFD) work is directed at parallel computing for nonlinear dynamics problems (such as Lagrangian turbulence dynamics), and the integration into interactive environments for CFD numerical exploration. This research is as continuation of on-going efforts in the Rutgers CAIP* Parallel Computing Lab, and is proposed as a joint NSF-CAIP program. *CAIP (Center for Computer Aids for Industrial Productivity).

该项目将设计和实现用于科学和工程计算的用户界面系统，特别强调并行计算环境。 这项工作涉及多个领域的活动：图形交互和可视化、计算策略以及计算流体动力学的特定领域研究。 后一个区域充当界面研究的“试验台”。总体目标是为工程师和科学家提供高性能、交互式计算环境，通过将交互式图形、高性能（并行）计算与允许以物理而非编程表达方式输入问题的智能界面相结合，进行原型探索（“假设？”实验）。 对用户界面的研究将通过添加基于问题的并行性检测（例如体现在奇异扰动问题中）等功能来增强我们当前的版本。 交互式图形工作将集中于基于约束的面向对象系统。 重点放在模型-视图-控制器范式上，作为用户与其原型模型交互以实现计算控制的基础。 计算策略研究主要集中在并行计算的新模型，例如面向对象的并行计算，以及开发新的并行计算库模块以支持工程计算。 特定领域（计算流体动力学或 CFD）工作针对非线性动力学问题（例如拉格朗日湍流动力学）的并行计算，以及集成到 CFD 数值探索的交互式环境中。 这项研究是罗格斯大学 CAIP* 并行计算实验室持续努力的延续，并被提议作为 NSF-CAIP 联合项目。 *CAIP（工业生产力计算机辅助中心）。
