An Infrastructure Facility for Parallel Processing

该机构基础设施奖是为了支持分布式和并行计算的实验和实施方面的研究项目。这笔资金将用于购置一台并行计算机并供支助人员维护。支持的研究包括并行机器、并行算法和动态可视化的系统和编程问题。高性能计算、通信和信息技术计划认识到，开发新架构计算机来解决目前在计算机上无法解决的问题，对国家的未来至关重要。这项基础设施奖为加州大学圣巴巴拉分校提供了参与这项研究计划所需的设备。

This Institutional Infrastructure award is for the support of research projects in experimental and implementation aspects of distributed and parallel computing. The funds will support the acquisition of a parallel computer and for the support staff to maintain it. The research supported includes systems and programming issues for parallel machines, parallel algorithms, and dynamic visualization. The High Performance Computing, Communications and Information Technology initiative recognizes as important to the nations future the development of new architecture computers to solve problems which now cannot be solved on computers. This infrastructure award gives the University of California, Santa Barbara the equipment necessary to participate in this research initiative.
