This is a three year Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) project at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, John F. McDonald, P.I., entitled Remote Distance Learning for Design of Fast SiGe HBT Computer Circuits. This project will employ an exciting new technology to empower students to learn how to design digital systems involving complex, high clock frequency computers and other circuits on a scale never before possible, and to enjoy the laboratory experience from remote locations, any time of the day. In particular, to provide access to an exciting new supercomputer technology, employing a novel electronic materials system, Silicon Germanium (SiGe), in the form of Heterojuntion Bipolar Transistor (HBT) circuits. The project involves creation of SiGe versions of circuits known as Field Programmable Circuit Boards (FPCB's), and Field Programmable Gate Array's (FPGA's). The approach makes feasible the rapid prototyping of supercomputer circuits that would have been too expensive by other approaches. This technology strengthens the student's ability to conceptualize these large, high speed systems in the abstract, virtual environment of inexpensive laptop and desktop computers, and university workstations and servers.

这是一个为期三年的联合研究课程开发（CRCD）项目在伦斯勒理工学院，约翰F。麦克唐纳私家侦探题目为“快速SiGe HBT计算机电路设计远程学习”。 该项目将采用一种令人兴奋的新技术，使学生能够学习如何设计涉及复杂，高时钟频率计算机和其他电路的数字系统，其规模前所未有，并在一天中的任何时间从远程位置享受实验室体验。 特别是，提供一个令人兴奋的新的超级计算机技术，采用一种新的电子材料系统，锗硅（SiGe），在异质结双极晶体管（HBT）电路的形式。 该项目涉及创建SiGe版本的电路，称为现场可编程电路板（FPCB）和现场可编程门阵列（FPGA）。 该方法使得超级计算机电路的快速原型制作成为可能，而其他方法则过于昂贵。 这项技术加强了学生的能力，概念化这些大型，高速系统的抽象，廉价的笔记本电脑和台式电脑，以及大学工作站和服务器的虚拟环境。
