将购买一个大规模并行计算系统，专门用于支持计算机科学的研究。该设备将用于几个研究项目，包括：信号处理和数据分析，采用快速傅立叶变换算法，用于非阿贝尔群和齐次空间，小波和其他相空间技术。并行实现的实验是这项工作的重要新方向。医学成像方面的应用正在从这一努力中涌现出来。为大规模并行计算机上的多处理器文件系统构建一个原型检查点系统，并对接口、缓存和预取、工作负载研究和远程异构文件系统访问进行后续研究。面向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。图像处理方面的应用，包括正在进行的人脑标记、化石叶子分类、手写分析和视觉注意力模拟等项目。PRAM算法的实现旨在消除大规模并行同步计算机实现中对内存的并发引用，采用了当前研究人员在PRAM模型新算法中的工作技术。

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.
