A laboratory containing a flexible configuration of parallel processors for use in an upper level seminar in parallel processing is being established. The laboratory explores parallel algorithms and their relation to various connection topologies. Transputer systems are used because they lend themselves to empirical studies of the speedup of parallel algorithms under varying conditions and are easily configured into a variety of different topologies. The equipment initially is used in an upper level seminar. The algorithms to be explored in the seminar are chosen with care, so that experience gained in the seminar can translate into useful units of study in parallel algorithms in most of the computer science courses in subsequent years.

正在建立一个包含并行处理器灵活配置的实验室，供并行处理高级研讨会使用。 该实验室探索并行算法及其与各种连接拓扑的关系。 使用晶片机系统是因为它们有助于对不同条件下并行算法的加速进行实证研究，并且可以轻松配置为各种不同的拓扑。 该设备最初用于高层研讨会。 研讨会中要探讨的算法是经过精心选择的，以便研讨会中获得的经验可以转化为随后几年大多数计算机科学课程中并行算法的有用学习单元。
