9729839 Uht, Augustus K. University of Rhode Island Research Instrumentation: Equipment for Diverse Computer Architecture Research This research instrumentation grant enables three distinct research projects: - Realizing Instruction Level Parallelism in the 10's - A New Spectrum of Hierarchical Storage Architectures for High Performance Disk I/Os - Ultra-Dependable and High-Performance Distributed Computing while seeking to improve computer performance in many dimensions: uni- or micro-processors, I/O (Input/Output) systems, and multiple-computer systems. Further, the reliability of multiple-computer systems is to be enhanced. These objectives are to be achieved by using the new instrumentation equipment (multiprocessor and multiple-disk RAID storage system) in several different ways. First, the Levo research prototype uniprocessor is to be designed and simulated on the new multiprocessor. The latter will serve to verify Levo's implementation and measure its performance, as well as to allow Levo's construction, establishing that uniprocessors can be designed to execute an order-of-magnitude more instructions per cycle than current uniprocessors. Second, since I/O constraints can limit overall performance, the novel Disk Caching Disk (DCD) I/O system is to be realized on the new multiprocessor and RAID equipment, demonstrating factors of 2 to orders-of-magnitude performance improvements of the DCD architecture. Lastly, the Active Nodal Task Seeking (ANTS) distributed computing system achieves high performance and ultra-dependability in a coarse-grain environment. The new ANTS kernel is to be realized on the new multiprocessor, showing that the same can be achieved on fine-grain applications.

9729839 Uht，Augustus K. 罗得岛大学 研究仪器：用于多种计算机体系结构研究的设备 这项研究仪器补助金使三个不同的研究项目： - 在10年代实现指令级并行化-用于高性能磁盘I/O的一系列新的分层存储架构-超可靠和高性能分布式计算，同时寻求在多个方面提高计算机性能：单处理器或微处理器、I/O（输入/输出）系统和多计算机系统。 此外，多计算机系统的可靠性有待提高。这些目标将通过以几种不同方式使用新的仪器设备（多处理器和多磁盘RAID存储系统）来实现。 首先，Levo研究原型单处理器是设计和模拟新的多处理器。后者将用于验证Levo的实现和衡量其性能，以及允许Levo的建设，建立单处理器可以被设计为执行一个数量级更多的指令，每个周期比目前的单处理器。 第二，由于I/O的限制，可以限制整体性能，新的磁盘缓存磁盘（DCD）的I/O系统是要实现新的多处理器和RAID设备，演示的DCD体系结构的2到数量级的性能改进的因素。 最后，主动节点任务搜索（ANTS）分布式计算系统在粗粒度环境下实现了高性能和超可靠性。新的ANTS内核将在新的多处理器上实现，这表明同样可以在细粒度应用程序上实现。
