This project permits students to study issues of parallel computation and parallel processing in a flexible, reconfigurable laboratory. As parallel processing becomes increasingly important in computing, students of computer science need to be exposed to facilities that will allow them to explore, in depth, the concepts and limitations of different parallel computational models. The parallel computation laboratory that supports this project is equipped with six (6) parallel processing machines. Each machines contains eight (8) processors which may be connected in a variety of ways including a ring, a pipeline, shuffle-exchange and hypercube. The six parallel machines are connected to one network server allowing the 48 processors to be integrated as one large "supercomputer". Student access to the parallel equipment configuration is via six high efficiency wokstations suitable for parallel-program development and debugging. By being exposed to different parallel computer configurations, students in this project are prepared for an area of computing that is becoming increasingly important both as a practical and research topic. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.

该项目允许学生在灵活的、可重新配置的实验室中学习并行计算和并行处理的问题。随着并行处理在计算中变得越来越重要，计算机科学专业的学生需要接触到使他们能够深入探索不同并行计算模型的概念和局限性的设施。支持该项目的并行计算实验室配备了六(6)台并行处理机。每台机器包含八(8)个处理器，它们可以通过各种方式连接，包括环形、流水线、洗牌交换和超立方体。这六台并行机连接到一台网络服务器上，使得48个处理器可以集成为一台大型“超级计算机”。学生通过适合并行程序开发和调试的六个高效工作站访问并行设备配置。通过接触不同的并行计算机配置，这个项目中的学生为计算领域做好了准备，该领域作为一个实践和研究课题正变得越来越重要。这笔奖金将由受赠人支付等额的奖金。
