MRI: Acquisition of Networked Heterogeneous Computer Systems

EIA-9871315 Tzeng，Nian-Feng西南路易斯安那大学 MRI：网络化异构计算机系统的采集 本提案涉及网络异构计算机系统的采购，这些系统将专门用于支持与计算机和信息科学与工程有关的研究活动。 这个建议的主要研究仪器将使实验研究至关重要的三个正在进行的研究项目：积极的分布式共享内存（DSM）的实施，有效的同步机制，和可恢复的DSM。 它包括台式PC、ALR Revolution服务器、SUN工作站和SUN企业服务器，这些服务器通过3Com的Myrinet LAN交换机和快速以太网交换机互连。 该仪器还将使计算机体系结构和分布式处理课程的学生获得实践经验，激发学生对计算机系统研究的兴趣。 参与正在进行的研究项目的入门级研究生研究助理将被鼓励利用这种仪器来实现积极的研究议程。

EIA-9871315 Tzeng, Nian-Feng University of Southwestern Louisiana MRI: Acquisition of Networked Heterogeneous Computer Systems This proposal pertains to acquisition of networked heterogeneous computer systems, which will be dedicated to support research activities pertinent to computer and information science and engineering. This proposed major research instrumentation will enable experimental studies essential to three ongoing research projects: aggressive distributed shared memory (DSM) implementation; effective synchronization mechanism, and recoverable DSM. It includes desktop PCs, an ALR Revolution Server, SUN workstations and a SUN Enterprise server, which are interconnected by a Myrinet LAN switch and a fast Ethernet switch from 3Com. The instrumentation will also allow students in computer architecture and distributed processing courses to gain hands-on experience, stimulating students' interest in computer system research. Entry-level graduate research assistants involved in the on-going research projects will be encouraged to take advantage of this instrumentation for realizing aggressive research agenda.
