CISE Research Instrumentation

购置一台处理器NCUBE多计算机，用于支持计算机和信息科学与工程领域的研究。这些设备将用于几个研究项目，这些项目将由一个跨学科的教职员工小组承担。该设备支持拟议项目的共同目标，即为高级工程项目开发新的并行方法。特别是，应探索以下项目：用于计算流体动力学的异步算法技术使用形式化方法支持数据分发非线性控制系统神经网络学习中的并行专用算法，计算电磁学，化学工艺流程图。这个跨学科的项目将把应用从业者和计算机科学研究人员聚集在一起。该设备是拟议中的万亿次浮点计算机的代表。因此，这些设备将被用来开发代码的原型，一旦有了更大的计算设备，这些代码的原型就可以进行扩展，以在更大的计算设备上运行。这项研究的集体成果将是改进科学计算的技术基础设施。

A 64 processor nCUBE multicomputer shall be acquired and dedicated to the support of research in computer and information science and engineering. The equipment will be used for several research projects to be undertaken by an interdisciplinary group of faculty. This equipment supports the proposed projects' common goal of developing novel parallel methods for advanced engineering projects. In particular, the following projects shall be explored: Asynchronous algorithmic techniques for Computational Fluid Dynamic Run-time support for data distribution using formal methods Parallel-specific algorithms in neural network learning for Nonlinear Control Systems, Computational Electromagnetics, and Chemical Process Flowsheeting. This interdisciplinary project shall bring together applications practitioners and Computer Science researchers. The equipment is representative of proposed teraflop computers. thus, the equipment will be used to develop prototypes of codes that can be scaled to run on larger computing equipment as it becomes available. The collective result of this research will be improved technological infrastructure for scientific computation.
