CISE Postdoctoral Program: Parallel Programming Archetypes for Scientific Computation: The MetaTevt Project

小行星9503966 这项工作的重点是应用程序原型的概念，设计一个基于互联网的电子教科书的并行编程技术。 原型是一种抽象，它捕获了一组算法的公共结构、计算和通信特征。 这个概念，当嵌入在一个交互式的超文本环境中，提供了一种新的方法来教学并行编程以及从现有的应用程序派生新的并行程序的软件工程基础。 原型工作将扩大到包括新的应用研究领域，包括自适应有限元问题中的稀疏矩阵计算以及计算宇宙学中的并行算法。 该项目的第二个方面是帮助整合这些应用科学家和正在构建电子教科书软件的印第安纳州MetaText研究团队的工作。 我们的目标是建立一个MetaText原型百科全书并行编程。 ***

9503966 Gannon The focus of this work is to apply the concept of program archetypes to the design of an Internet based electronic textbook on parallel programming techniques. An archetype is an abstraction that captures the common structural, computation, and communication features of a set of algorithms. This concept, when embedded in an interactive hypertext environment, provides a new approach to teaching about parallel programming as well as a software engineering foundation for deriving new parallel programs from existing applications. The archetypes work will be expanded to include new areas of application study, including sparse matrix computation in adaptive finite element problems as well as parallel algorithms in computational cosmology. A second aspect of this project is to help integrate the work of these application scientists and of the Indiana MetaText research team that is building electronic textbook software. The goal is to build a MetaText archetype encyclopedia for parallel programming. ***
