This award is to support a postdoctoral associate to work in experimental computer science. The associate, Calvin P. Lin, will work with Dr. Lawrence Snyder on portable parallel programs. The research will concentrate on three areas: parallel languages, parallel algorithms, and portable scientific applications. Two parallel languages will be developed based on the Phase Abstractions programming model. This model has already been shown to produce portable parallel programs for both shared and distributed memory architectures. Additionally, important scientific algorithms, such as the Fast Fourier Transform, will be studied to identify the "algorithm of choice", an algorithm that is optimal on most architectures and competitive on all. Finally, work will continue on the development of portable scientific codes concentrating on a large molecular dynamics program.

这一奖项是为了支持一名博士后助理从事实验计算机科学工作。这位名叫卡尔文·P·林的同事将与劳伦斯·斯奈德博士合作开发可移植的并行程序。研究将集中在三个领域：并行语言、并行算法和可移植的科学应用。将基于阶段抽象编程模型开发两种并行语言。该模型已经被证明可以为共享和分布式内存体系结构生成可移植的并行程序。此外，还将研究重要的科学算法，如快速傅立叶变换，以确定“选择的算法”，这是一种在大多数架构上都是最佳的、在所有架构上都具有竞争力的算法。最后，将继续开发可移植的科学代码，专注于大分子动力学程序。
