An Undergraduate Mac Hypercube Laboratory

这个项目为计算机科学和数学系的学生开发了一个并发处理设施（超立方体）。这个新实验室通过提供超立方体拓扑、语言构造、实用程序、高斯消去、通信开销、完美并行性和负载平衡等方面的经验来支持数值方法的课程和项目。关键设备包括5台苹果麦金塔电脑和AppleTalk。这个基于mac的超立方体是根据加州理工学院开发的原型设计的，使用LocalTalk硬件和AppleTalk软件作为节点连接的媒介。该奖金将由首席研究员所在机构提供等额的奖金。

This project develops a concurrent processing facility (a hypercube) for students in the Departments of Computer Science and Mathematics. This new laboratory supports courses and projects in numerical methods by providing experience with Hypercube Topology, Language Constructs, Utilities, Gaussian Elimination, Commun- ication Overhead, Perfect Parallelism and Load Balancing. Key equipment includes an ensemble of 5 Apple Macintosh IIci computers and AppleTalk. This Mac-based hypercube is designed according to the prototype developed at Caltech using LocalTalk hardware and AppleTalk software as the medium for the nodal connections. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
