Workstation Laboratory for New Undergraduate Curriculum in Massively Parallel Computing

本项目是实现一个专业工作站 新的、跨学科的、本科生课程实验室 大规模并行计算中的序列， 在NSF的支持下，今年推出了什么？CDR/CISE！的 实验室将配备先进的软件工具， 高性能图形工作站网络， 学生们将访问大学的大规模并行 电脑这些工作站是根据 计算速度和3D图形功能。此外 到基本软件包，包括C，C++，Pascal， FORTRAN，X11和Motif，PI计划提供Mathematica， 琳达和ID，以确保全方位的工具， 专业的高性能计算环境。的 工作站将用于进入CM-5综合体， 用于连接机计算的可视化， 结果，用于程序开发，数据准备和 分析，并研究网络分布式计算 模型 该实验室将被设计为 既是工作空间，又是演示/教学环境， 旨在加强跨学科的性质， 通过建立一个中心位置， 一系列跨部门的本科生活动连接 新的课程。 私家侦探们认为这个项目 将证明将边境 技术纳入本科教育，并作为一个 其他教育工作者可以借鉴的原型。

This project is to implement a professional workstation laboratory for the new, interdisciplinary, undergraduate course sequence in massively parallel computing which is being introduced this year with support from the NSF ?CDR/CISE!. The laboratory will be equipped with advanced software tools on a network of high performance graphics workstations from which the students will access the University's massively parallel computer. The workstations have been choosen for their computational speed and 3D graphics capabilities. In addition to the basic software package, which includes C, C++, Pascal, FORTRAN, X11 and Motif, the PIs plan to provide Mathematica, Linda and ID to ensure a full spectrum of tools for a professional high performance computing environment. The workstations will be used to gain access to the CM-5 complex, for the visualization of Connection Machine computations and results, for program development, for data preparation and analysis, and for studying networked distributed computing models. The laboratory, which will be designed to serve as both a workspace and demonstration/teaching environment,is intended to reinforce the interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum by establishing a central location for the full range of interdepartmental undergraduate activity connected with the new curriculum. The PIs believe that this project will demonstrate the viability of incorporating frontier technologies into undergraduate education and serve as a prototype from which other educators can borrow.
