CISE Research Instrumentation: Parallel Scientific Computing

纽约州立大学石溪分校获得的奖励是购买一台MIMD计算机，以支持许多不同应用领域的研究。其中包括：计算流体力学的并行算法、体积可视化体系结构和算法、可视化工具以及组合搜索算法。计算机将主要用于开发对MIMD环境中的计算有用的软件，尽管一些计算流体力学的代码将作为计算密集型程序开发和运行。大型并行处理计算机正变得足够便宜，以至于大学团体可以负担得起购买和维护它们作为共享资源。纽约州立大学石溪分校被资助购买一台MIMD架构的计算机，用于计算机科学、计算科学以及图形和可视化研究。进行这项研究的小组在使用并行机进行研究方面有很长的历史，以前使用并行计算机的经验对充分利用新计算机将是无价的。

The award to SUNY Stony Brook is for the acquisition of a MIMD computer to support research in a number of different application areas. These include: parallel algorithms for computational fluid dynamics, volume visualization architecture and algorithms, visualization tools, and combinatorial search algorithms. The computer will be used primarily to develop software that is useful for computing in a MIMD environment although some codes for computational fluid dynamics will be developed and run as compute intensive programs. Large parallel processing computers are becoming inexpensive enough that university groups can afford to purchase and maintain them as a shared resource. SUNY Stony Brook is funded to purchase a MIMD architecture computer to be used for computer science, computational science, and graphics and visualization research. The group performing the research have a long history of using parallel machines for their research and the results of previous experiences with parallel computers will be invaluable in fully utilizing the new computer.
