9724495 Goldberg, Mark Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Acquisition of Instrumentation to Facilitate Large Scale Parallel Computation Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) will be acquiring three four-processor shared-memory computers. The equipment will be used to support research in parallel adaptive computation, silicon simulation, software tools development for parallel scientific computation, generic software libraries for parallel computation, learning algorithms for combinatorial optimization, and query optimization in heterogeneous mediated systems. RPI will also be developing a library of programming tools for handling distributed computing on a cluster of high-power shared memory workstations and will make this software freely available to the scientific community and accessible through the World Wide Web. The equipment will also be used in undergraduate courses in computational science and engineering, in particular a studio course in algorithm design and a second course in the design and implementation of generic software. Both of these courses provide hands-on experience for students and will thus allow direct involvement with the new equipment.

9724495 Goldberg, Mark 伦斯勒理工学院收购仪器以促进大规模并行计算 伦斯勒理工学院 (RPI) 将购买三台四处理器共享内存计算机。 该设备将用于支持并行自适应计算、硅仿真、并行科学计算软件工具开发、并行计算通用软件库、组合优化学习算法以及异构中介系统中的查询优化等方面的研究。 RPI 还将开发一个编程工具库，用于在高功率共享内存工作站集群上处理分布式计算，并将将该软件免费提供给科学界并通过万维网访问。 该设备还将用于计算科学与工程的本科课程，特别是算法设计的工作室课程和通用软件设计与实现的第二门课程。 这两门课程都为学生提供了实践经验，因此可以直接参与新设备。
