This project utilizes a laboratory with graphics capabilities to display the effects of algorithms on data structures. Using animation, data structures are displayed as they are manipulated by algorithms so that students may understand the data structures and algorithms from a conceptual level apart from their representation in a particular language. The algorithm visualization laboratory has six (6) Macintosh II microcomputers participating in a local Appletalk network. One of the six systems serves as a gateway to an Ethernet network linking the Macintosh II's to the University's VAX 11-780 and MicroVAX. Most algorithm software development is done on the MicroVAX and then transmitted to the Macintosh computers for graphic display. The lab uses an overhead projection system capable of presenting an interactive Macintosh session on a large screen. Real-time display allows the instructor to demonstrate concepts of algorithm performance and it allows students to experiment with algorithms and data structures on an individual basis - they learn about algorithms by watching them perform. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.

该项目利用具有图形功能的实验室， 显示算法对数据结构的影响。 使用动画，数据结构按原样显示 通过算法进行操作，以便学生可以理解数据 结构和算法从概念层面上，除了他们的 用特定语言表达。 算法可视化实验室有六（6）台Macintosh II 参与本地AppleTalk网络的微型计算机。之一 六个系统作为以太网的网关， Macintosh II的到大学的VAX 11-780和MicroVAX。最 在MicroVAX上进行算法软件开发， 传输到Macintosh电脑上进行图形显示。实验室 使用能够呈现交互式 在大屏幕上的Macintosh会话。 实时显示允许教师演示以下概念 算法性能，它允许学生实验 算法和数据结构-他们学习 来了解算法。 这一奖励将由受赠方提供同等数额的资金。
