The goal of this project is two-fold: (1) to develop software that may be implemented in a variety of computing environments to visualize algorithms and then (2) to incorporate the use of that software into laboratory exercises in courses throughout the computer science curriculum. The former goal was achieved largely during the summer of 1988, with refinements to the system occurring in the summer of 1989. Working with students Pamela J. Krussel and Christopher D. Hundhausen, project principal investigator Dr. Thomas L. Naps developed the GAIGS (Generalized Algorithm Illustration through Graphical Software) algorithm visualization system. This software runs on the local area VAX cluster which is the hub of the computer science laboratory. The software presents graphical animations of algorithms on VAXStation 2000s. The animation is generated by a program that implements that algorithm on any of the computer systems on campus.

该项目的目标是双重的：（1）开发可以在各种计算环境中实现的软件，以可视化算法，然后（2）将该软件的使用纳入整个计算机科学课程的实验室练习。前一个目标在1988年夏天基本实现，1989年夏天对系统进行了改进。与学生帕梅拉·J·克鲁塞尔和克里斯托弗·D。Hundhausen，项目首席研究员托马斯L。Naps开发了GAIGS（Generalized Algorithm Illustration through Graphical Software）算法可视化系统。该软件运行在局域VAX集群上，该集群是计算机科学实验室的中心。该软件在VAXStation 2000上显示算法的图形动画。动画是由一个程序生成的，该程序在校园内的任何计算机系统上实现了该算法。
