0001567AmmarDescription: This award is to support a collaborative project by Dr. Reda Ammar, Professor and Chairman of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut, and Dr. Salwa Nassar, Professor and Head of Parallel and Distributed Systems Team, the Electronics Research Institute, Cairo, Egypt. They plan to investigate and develop distributed/ parallel computing techniques for processing real-time applications with extremely high data rate such as the high-speed ultrasound testing of steel pipes. Because of extreme data rates (e.g. multi-channel data sets arrive every 200-400 microseconds), and real-time response requirements for this class of applications, the processing methodology requires innovative approaches that utilize the capabilities of distributed/parallel systems. The work has three major thrusts: Development of a multi-layers performance model for real-time applications; development of a suitable pipelined methodology which can allow different stages of real-time application to be carried out in extreme data rate situations; and generic research in the area of effective application of high performance distributed, real-time technology to extremely high throughput data processing situations. Scope: The US PI and the Egyptian collaborator have extensive experience in this area of research. The US investigator will focus on hierarchical performance modeling approach while the Egyptian PI will, with support from the US PI, investigate the potential mapping of the processing into the architecture. One post-doctorate from Egypt will work on the project at the University of Connecticut. This proposal meets the INT objective of supporting collaborative research in areas of mutual scientific interest. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these cooperative activities.

0001567 Ammar描述：该奖项是为了支持Reda Ammar博士（康涅狄格大学，斯托尔斯，康涅狄格州）和Salwa Nassar博士（埃及开罗电子研究所，并行和分布式系统团队负责人）的一个合作项目。 他们计划研究和开发分布式/并行计算技术，用于处理具有极高数据速率的实时应用，例如钢管的高速超声检测。由于极端的数据速率（例如，多通道数据集每200-400微秒到达一次）以及这类应用的实时响应要求，处理方法需要利用分布式/并行系统的能力的创新方法。 这项工作有三个主要的推力：开发一个多层的实时应用程序的性能模型;开发一个合适的流水线方法，可以让不同阶段的实时应用程序进行极端的数据速率的情况下;和通用的研究领域的有效应用高性能的分布式，实时技术，以极高的吞吐量的数据处理情况。范围：美国PI和埃及合作者在该研究领域拥有丰富的经验。 美国研究者将专注于分层性能建模方法，而埃及PI将在美国PI的支持下，研究处理到架构的潜在映射。 来自埃及的一名博士后将在康涅狄格大学从事该项目。 该提案符合INT的目标，即支持在共同科学感兴趣的领域进行合作研究。 该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金方案的支持，该方案向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展这些合作活动。
