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.

本计画为电脑科学系与数学系之学生开发一个平行处理设施（一个超立方体）。这个新的实验室通过提供超立方体拓扑，语言结构，实用程序，高斯消除，通信开销，完美的并行化和负载平衡的经验，支持数值方法的课程和项目。主要设备包括5台苹果Macintosh IIci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。主要研究者所在机构将提供等额奖金。
