Hampton University Experimental Laboratory for Parallel Processing and Artificial Intelligence Research (HELPAR)

汉普顿大学提议制定一个5年计划，建立一个并行处理和人工智能研究的实验实验室。计算机科学系的教师将承担主要责任，制定建设拟议设施的五年计划。在与数学系、物理系和工程系的教员合作下，计划中的设施将支持广泛的并行处理研究，从并行算法的制定到并行机器的高效系统软件的设计。它还将支持人工智能研究，重点是并行系统的人工智能软件的开发方法和验证。规划预算将支持直接参与项目的校内人员、顾问、咨询服务的差旅费和重要会议。汉普顿大学和at&t贝尔实验室将提供实物支持，作为规划研究的成本分摊。

Hampton University proposes to develop a 5-year plan for an experimental laboratory for parallel processing and artificial intelligence research. The faculty of the Computer Science Department will undertake the major responsibility for developing the five-year plan for building the proposed facility. In cooperation with faculty in the Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Departments, the planned facility will support a wide spectrum of parallel processing research, from formulation of parallel algorithms to the design of efficient system software for parallel machines. It will also support artificial intelligence research that focuses on the development methodologies and verification of AI software for parallel systems. The planning budget will support on-campus personnel directly involved in the project, consultants, travel expenses for advisory services, and important conferences. Hampton University and AT&T Bell Laboratories will commit in-kind support as a cost share in the planning study.
