Massively Parallel Computing at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)

在国家超级计算机应用中心的并行计算工作中，需要进一步加强的两个领域是创建一个平衡的硬件环境，以促进更大的用户访问和系统吞吐量，以及为用户迁移到新获得的连接机提供咨询支持。该合同将提供硬件以增加通信带宽，并允许更多的用户访问该机器。它还规定了可以协助用户的工作人员/顾问。

Two areas which need further enhancement in the parallel computing effort of the National Center for Supercomputer Applications are the creation of a balanced hardware environment that will facilitate greater user access and system throughput, and consulting support for the migration of users to the newly acquired Connection Machine. This award will provide hardware to increase the communication bandwith, and also allow a greater number of users to access the machine. It also provides for staff/consultants who can assist users.
