CISE Research Instrumentation: Multiprocessor and Sensor Hardware for Vision, Learning Planning and Parallel Processing Research

小行星9422007 该奖项是购买两个共享内存多处理器系统，其中一个具有加速的3D图形，可用于以下研究项目：1）计算机视觉和图形学; 2）使用局部和全局搜索的组合优化; 3）分类和控制的机器学习; 4）动态模拟环境中的规划代理; 5）比较函数式编程语言。 这些项目的关键是多处理器的计算能力。 该设备将提供一种手段，以获得经验映射算法到粗粒度并行硬件。 在这些项目中的许多并行算法需要一个共享内存的多处理器架构。 视觉，图形，学习和规划项目明确受益于硬件的3D图形功能。 除上述项目外，该设备还可用于探索新的研究领域。 ***

9422007 Beveridge This award is to purchase two shared-memory multiprocessor systems, one with accelerated 3D graphics as required by the following research projects: 1) Computer Vision and Graphics; 2) Combinatorial Optimization Using Local and Global Search; 3) Machine Learning for Classification and Control; 4) Planning Agents in Dynamic Simulated Environments; 5) Comparing Functional Programming Languages. Essential to these projeats is the computational power of the multiprocessors. The equipment will provide a means to gain experience mapping algorithms onto coarse grain parallel hardware. Many parallel algorithms in these projects require a shared memory multiprocessor architecture. The vision, graphics, learning and planning projects explicitly benefit from the 3D graphics capability of the hardware. In addition to the above projects, this equipment will be available for exploration of new areas of research. ***
