Parallel Computation Laboratory for Computational and Computer Science

该大学正在创建一个现代化的并行计算实验室和一门计算科学课程。 本课程向本科生介绍使用高速并行计算机解决计算密集型科学问题，并向计算机科学专业的学生介绍计算的科学应用。 这个新系统使大学能够将并行计算引入计算机科学课程的其他几门课程，例如，图形、算法、编程语言和操作系统。 项目主任正在编写教材，将分发给其他学院和大学。 该实验室由一台12节点分布式内存并行计算机和一台工作站组成。 每个节点包括一个强大的计算处理器，并与T805晶片机作为通信处理器相结合。 计算机可以从大学的工作站网络访问，以便同时使用。

The university is creating a modern parallel computing laboratory and a course on computational science. The course introduces undergraduates to the use of a high-speed parallel computer for solving computationally intensive scientific problems and introduces computer science students to scientific applications of computing. This new system enables the university to introduce parallel computing into several other courses in the computer science curriculum, e.g., graphics, algorithms, programming languages, and operating systems. The project director is developing teaching materials, which will be disseminated to other colleges and universities. The laboratory consists of a 12-node distributed memory parallel computer with a workstation as a host machine. Each node includes a powerful compute processor and is combined with a T805 transputer as a communications processor. The computer is accessible from the university's network of workstations, for simultaneous use.
