将购买一个致力于支持计算机科学研究的大规模并行计算系统。该设备将用于几个研究项目，特别包括：使用快速傅立叶变换的信号处理和数据分析非阿贝尔群和齐次空间的变换算法以及小波等相空间技术。并行实现的实验是这项工作的一个重要新方向。医学成像的应用正在从这一努力中浮现出来。在大规模并行计算机上构建多处理器文件系统的原型检查点系统，并在接口、缓存和预取、工作负载研究和远程异类文件系统访问方面进行后续研究。用于数据并行计算的虚拟存储器的开发及其在科学计算中的应用。在图像处理中的应用，涉及人脑标记、化石树叶分类、笔迹分析和视觉注意力模拟等正在进行的项目。在大规模并行同步计算机上的实现中，使用从用于PRAM模型的新算法中的当前研究人员的工作中获得的技术，旨在消除对存储器的并发引用的PRAM算法的实现。

A massively parallel computing system which will be dedicated to support research in computer science will be purchased. The equipment will be used for several research projects including in particular: Signal processing and data analysis employing fast Fourier transform algorithms for non-abelian groups and homogeneous spaces and wavelet and other phase space techniques. Experimentation with parallel implementation is an important new direction for this work. Applications in medical imaging are emerging from this effort. Building a prototype checkpointing system for multiprocessor file systems on massively parallel computers, with follow-on-research in interfaces, caching and prefetching, workload studies, and remote heterogeneous file system access. Development of virtual memory for data-parallel computing with applications in scientific computing. Applications in image processing involving ongoing projects in human brain labeling, fossil leaf classification, handwriting analysis, and simulation of visual attention. Implementation of PRAM algorithms aimed at elimination of concurrent references to memory in implementations on a massively parallel synchronous computer, using techniques taken from work of the current researchers in new algorithms for the PRAM model.
