Creation of High-Bandwidth Regional Infrastructure with National Connectivity

该奖项是根据NCRI宣布的“连接到互联网”的高性能连接部分颁发的，NSF96-。它为OC-3 ATM波士顿城域网络和从该网络到vBNS的OC-3连接提供为期两年的部分支持。应用包括：*用于RSVP的交通控制器模块*在IP-over-ATM网络中提供端到端的服务质量*元计算和分布式可视化*地震物理*全球优化的算法，增强的采样和反应路径确定*建模激发州化学动力学协作机构包括国家超级计算应用中心，伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校，康奈尔大学，加州大学圣地亚哥分校，科罗拉多大学，东北，麻省理工学院，锡拉丘兹大学和加州理工学院。

This award is made under the high performance connections portion of NCRI's "Connections to the Internet" announcement, NSF 96-64. It provides partial support for two years for an OC-3 ATM Boston metropolitan area network and an OC-3 connection from that network to the vBNS. Applications include: * Traffic Controller Module for RSVP * Providing End-to-end Quality of Service in an IP-over-ATM Network * Metacomputing and Distributed Visualization * Earthquake Physics * Algorithms for Global Optimization, Enhanced Sampling and Reaction Pathway Determination * Modelling Excited State Chemical Dynamics Collaborating institutions include the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois at Chicago, Cornell, University of California at San Diego, University of Colorado, Northeastern, MIT, Syracuse University and the California Institute of Technology.
