Workshop on Research Distribution of Gigabit Network Technology; July 10-11, 1996; St. Louis, MO

1993年，华盛顿大学在ARPA和NSF的资助下，开始了一项研究计划，以创建网络技术和基于该技术的千兆测试平台。华盛顿大学有兴趣将这项技术提供给网络和HPCC研究社区，使其他人能够更有效地追求他们自己在高性能计算和通信方面的研究议程。这项努力将资助一个有三个目的的讲习班。首先是充分详细地描述拟议的计划和它所基于的千兆ATM技术，以便参与者可以确定其在他们的研究计划中的潜在价值。第二个目的是确定人们对这样一个项目的兴趣程度，以帮助NSF和其他可能的机构的代表决定这样一个项目是否值得他们的支持。第三个目的是获取与会者的意见，了解如何使项目符合他们的特殊需求。讲习班将于1996年7月10日至11日在华盛顿大学校园举行。

In 1993, Washington University, with funding from ARPA and NSF, began a research program to create networking technology and a gigabit testbed based on this technology. The Washington University is interested in making the technology available to the networking and HPCC research communities, to enable others to pursue more effectively their own research agendas in high performance computing and communications. This effort will fund a workshop that would serve three purposes. The first is to describe the proposed program and the gigabit ATM technology on which it is based in sufficient detail that the participants can determine its potential value to them in their research programs. The second purpose is to determine what level of interest there may be in such a program, to help representatives from NSF and possibly other agencies to decide if such a program would merit their support. The third purpose is to obtain input from the attendees as to how the program might be shaped to suit their particular needs. The workshop will be held July 10 11, 1996 on the Washington University campus.
