9452218 Metaxas We are purchasing a multi-processor computer to support undergraduate education in parallel computation in computer science and other computation-intensive disciplines. There is a strong need to introduce parallelism to our curriculum. Building upon our substantial teaching and research in parallel computing and our prior development of instructional resources to support educational efforts in this area, we are developing a course and the necessary curricular materials (exercises, algorithm animations, textbook) that will serve as a prototype for undergraduate teaching and research in parallel computation in similar institutions. Our project is unique in its integration of algorithmic visualization and multimedia technology, and in its firm grounding in applications in biology, chemistry and computer science. Furthermore, we have both the human resources and an extensive infrastructure to support it.

9452218 Metaxas 我们正在购买一台多处理器计算机，以支持计算机科学和其他计算密集型学科的并行计算本科教育。 非常需要在我们的课程中引入并行性。 基于我们在并行计算方面的大量教学和研究以及我们之前开发的教学资源来支持该领域的教育工作，我们正在开发一门课程和必要的课程材料（练习、算法动画、教科书），这些材料将作为类似机构中并行计算本科生教学和研究的原型。 我们的项目的独特之处在于算法可视化和多媒体技术的集成，以及其在生物学、化学和计算机科学应用方面的坚实基础。 此外，我们拥有人力资源和广泛的基础设施来支持它。
