The focus of this project is to improve undergraduate teaching of software development for massively parallel computers. The instruction will include communication between processors, programming languages, parallel algorithms, artificial intelligence, and data structures. Since massively parallel computers are quite different from traditional sequential machines, it is becoming more important to introduce massively parallel computing early in students careers. A 1024-processor Distributed Array Processor was acquired to support the teaching of massively parallel computing, parallel language constructs, artificial intelligence, and parallel algorithms for computational physics. This project is significant because it focusses on the early introduction of students to massively parallel computation, which is rapidly becoming an important area of computing technology.

本项目的重点是改进大规模并行计算机的软件开发本科教学。该指令将包括处理器之间的通信、编程语言、并行算法、人工智能和数据结构。由于大规模并行计算机与传统的时序机有很大的不同，在学生职业生涯早期引入大规模并行计算变得越来越重要。购买了一个1024处理器的分布式阵列处理器，以支持计算物理的大规模并行计算、并行语言构造、人工智能和并行算法的教学。这个项目意义重大，因为它专注于向学生介绍大规模并行计算的早期知识，大规模并行计算正在迅速成为计算技术的一个重要领域。
