Boston University intends to buy a Thinking Machines Corporation Connection Machine, Model CM-5 to enhance Boston University's massively parallel scientific computing environment. This award is for the purchase of a 20 Gigabyte CM-5 disk array unit. The equipment will be used to support research in molecular dynamics simulation of freezing, simulation of neural networks, quantum chemistry calculations, high energy physics particle tracking simulations, plasma simulations and chaos in N-body systems. Computationally-based research which requires high precision solutions of large systems of ordinary differential equations and /or large matrix systems, will be pursued on-site at Boston University in its enhanced massively parallel scientific computing environment. Its acquisition of a Thinking Machines' CM-5 Machine, and from this award, a 20 Gigabyte CM-5 disk array unit, will enable Boston University to support projects in molecular dynamics, neural networks, quantum chemistry, particle tracking and plasma simulation.

波士顿大学打算购买一台Thinking Machines Corporation连接机，型号CM-5，以增强波士顿大学的大规模并行科学计算环境。该奖项是为购买20兆字节的CM-5磁盘阵列单元。这些设备将用于支持冻结的分子动力学模拟、神经网络模拟、量子化学计算、高能物理粒子跟踪模拟、等离子体模拟和N体系统中的混沌等方面的研究。以计算为基础的研究，需要高精度的解决方案的大型系统的常微分方程和/或大型矩阵系统，将继续在现场在波士顿大学在其增强的大规模并行科学计算环境。它收购了Thinking Machines的CM-5机器，并从该奖项中获得了20兆字节的CM-5磁盘阵列单元，将使波士顿大学能够支持分子动力学，神经网络，量子化学，粒子跟踪和等离子体模拟等项目。
