A shared-memory manycore parallel computer is required to pursue research into parallel algorithms and architectures for diverse range of applications including FPGAs, GPUs, bioinformatics, data mining, verification and scheduling of complex systems. Ideally, the system would be at the leading-edge of modern mainstream systems, which today is 64 processors with 256GB of memory at roughly $85,000. In 3-5 years time, such a system is likely to be economically mainstream as a standard engineering workstation priced below $10,000. We plan to immediately utilize such a leading-edge platform to allow us to prepare in advance for what will be soon become economically mainstream.

需要共享内存众核并行计算机来研究并行算法和架构，以适应各种应用，包括 FPGA、GPU、生物信息学、数据挖掘、复杂系统的验证和调度。理想情况下，该系统将处于现代主流系统的前沿，目前该系统具有 64 个处理器和 256GB 内存，价格约为 85,000 美元。在 3-5 年内，这样的系统可能会成为价格低于 10,000 美元的标准工程工作站的经济主流。我们计划立即利用这样一个领先的平台，让我们为即将成为经济主流的事物提前做好准备。
