This award is for the acquisition of networking equipment required for more effective utilization of an existing Connection Machine CM-2. There are a number of research projects using the CM-2 including: visualization of parameterized Julia sets, computational geometry on a SIMD architecture, simulations of magnetic films, simulation of quantum chromodynamics, and multiple target tracking algorithms for radar applications. The effective use of a high speed, highly parallel computer requires high speed data links. This award is for the construction of a fiber optic network linking five sites at Boston University to a large Connection Machine (CM-2). The research supported by this computer includes mathematical, computer science, electrical engineering, physics, and signal processing applications. The award will make the Connection Machine more accessible and better utilize its high speed computing capabilities.

该奖项用于购买更有效地利用现有连接机 CM-2 所需的网络设备。有许多研究项目使用 CM-2，包括：参数化 Julia 集的可视化、SIMD 架构上的计算几何、磁性薄膜模拟、量子色动力学模拟以及雷达应用的多目标跟踪算法。高速、高度并行计算机的有效使用需要高速数据链路。该奖项用于建造将波士顿大学的五个站点连接到大型连接机 (CM-2) 的光纤网络。该计算机支持的研究包括数学、计算机科学、电气工程、物理学和信号处理应用。该奖项将使 Connection Machine 更易于使用并更好地利用其高速计算能力。
