9421997 Hatcher This award is to purchase a cluster of 24 100MHz i486 systems connected via both an Ethernet and an ATM network constructed from 3 12-port ATM switches. Each i486 system will have sufficient main memory to allow large parallel computations to be run on the cluster and sufficient disk space to allow parallel I/O experiments to be performed. This equipment will be dedicated to supporting research in computer and information science and engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects, including in particular: the implementation of data-parallel programs on clusters of high-speed processors utilizing a dedicated high-bandwidth network; the design, implementation and evaluation of extensions to the data-parallel programming model to support parallel I/O; the parallel implementation of the UNH Flexidesc system, which integrates scientific data visualization and database technology to support exploratory analysis of scientific data; the development of parallel algorithms for graphics and data visualization; the development of parallel algorithms for solving constraint satisfaction problems. ***

9421997孵化器这个奖项是为了购买一个由24个100 MHz i486系统组成的集群，这些系统通过一个以太网和一个由3个12端口ATM交换机构成的ATM网络相连。每个i486系统都有足够的主内存以允许在集群上运行大型并行计算，并具有足够的磁盘空间以允许执行并行I/O实验。该设备将致力于支持计算机和信息科学与工程方面的研究。这些设备将用于几个研究项目，特别包括：在利用专用高带宽网络的高速处理器集群上执行数据并行程序；设计、实施和评价支持并行I/O的数据并行编程模型的扩展；并行实施UNH Flexidesc系统，该系统将科学数据可视化和数据库技术相结合，以支持对科学数据的探索性分析；开发图形和数据可视化并行算法；开发解决约束满足问题的并行算法。***
