A Parallel Processing Laboratory Designed for Use by Non-Traditional Undergraduate Students

9352258 MIMS这个项目将为计算机科学专业的非传统本科生提供并行编程和并行处理的途径。这所学校的计算机科学课程服务于大量的非传统学生。这些学生需要远程访问并行计算设施。该项目的目标是建立一个并行处理机网络，其形式为廉价的Transputer，可通过连接到电话交换系统的网络文件服务器远程访问。该项目将以最低的成本提供一个可远程访问的并行计算设施的模型系统。由国家科学基金会在其他机构赞助的ILI并行处理项目是该项目的典范。该项目通过解决向非传统学生提供远程访问利用Transputer网络进行并行处理这一具体问题，加强了以前基于Transputer的ILI项目。***

9352258 Mims This project will provide non-traditional undergraduate computer science majors access to concurrent programming and parallel processing. The Computer Science Program at this institution services a large number of non-traditional students. These students need remote access to parallel computing facilities. The goal of the project is to establish a network of parallel processors in the form of inexpensive transputers that are accessible remotely via a network file server connected to a telephone switching system. This project will provide a model system of remotely accessible parallel computing facilities at a minimal cost. ILI parallel processing projects sponsored by NSF at other institutions serve as the model for this project. This project enhances previous transputer based ILI projects by addressing the specific issue of providing non-traditional students with remote access to parallel processing utilizing a network of transputers. ***
