Workshop on Research Distribution of Gigabit Network Technology; July 10-11, 1996; St. Louis, MO

1993年，华盛顿大学在ARPA和NSF的资助下，开始了一项研究计划，以创建联网技术和基于该技术的千兆位测试床。华盛顿大学有兴趣将该技术提供给网络和HPCC研究社区，使其他人能够更有效地在高性能计算和通信方面追求自己的研究议程。 这项工作将资助一个有三个目的的讲习班。 第一个是描述所提出的计划和千兆位ATM技术，它是基于足够的细节，参与者可以确定其潜在的价值，他们在他们的研究计划。 第二个目的是确定对这样一个计划的兴趣程度，以帮助NSF和其他机构的代表决定这样一个计划是否值得他们的支持。 第三个目的是从与会者那里获得关于如何塑造计划以满足他们特定需求的输入。 研讨会将于1996年7月10日至11日在华盛顿大学校园举行。

In 1993, Washington University, with funding from ARPA and NSF, began a research program to create networking technology and a gigabit testbed based on this technology. The Washington University is interested in making the technology available to the networking and HPCC research communities, to enable others to pursue more effectively their own research agendas in high performance computing and communications. This effort will fund a workshop that would serve three purposes. The first is to describe the proposed program and the gigabit ATM technology on which it is based in sufficient detail that the participants can determine its potential value to them in their research programs. The second purpose is to determine what level of interest there may be in such a program, to help representatives from NSF and possibly other agencies to decide if such a program would merit their support. The third purpose is to obtain input from the attendees as to how the program might be shaped to suit their particular needs. The workshop will be held July 10 11, 1996 on the Washington University campus.
