US-Egypt Cooperative Research: A High Performance, Energy Efficient, Adaptive Parallel Architecture

0117667 AlbonesiDescription：该奖项是为了支持由纽约罗切斯特大学电气和计算机工程系David Albonesi博士和埃及开罗电子研究所计算机和系统系Salwa Nassar博士合作的项目。他们计划研究新的计算系统，这些系统可以配置为几个不同的并行系统组织之一，以满足软件程序的不同需求。将开发一个基于模拟的硬件模型，并用于评估如何使用此架构加速各种多媒体、科学、商业数据库和商业程序。这项工作的关键将是开发能够分析应用软件特性的编译器，以便为程序执行的每个阶段选择最佳硬件配置。范围：拟议的研究将利用美国团队在开发高性能自适应体系结构方面的专业知识，以及埃及团队在设计并行软件和编译器方面的专业知识。这一合作预计将极大地惠及各国信息技术领域的研究。该项目将涉及一名美国研究生，他将获得国际科学合作的经验。该建议符合INT支持共同感兴趣领域的合作研究的目标。该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金计划的支持，该计划为两国的科学家和工程师提供资助，以开展这些合作活动。

0117667AlbonesiDescription: This award is to support a collaborative project by Dr. David Albonesi, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York and Dr. Salwa Nassar, Computer and Systems Department, Electronics Research Institute, Cairo, Egypt. They plan to investigate novel computing systems, which can be configured into one of several different parallel system organizations in order to meet the diverse requirements of software programs. A simulation-based model of the hardware will be developed and used to evaluate how diverse multimedia, scientific, commercial database, and business programs can be accelerated with this architecture. Key to this effort will be the development of compilers that can analyze application software characteristics so as to select the optimal hardware configuration for each phase of program execution.Scope: The proposed research will leverage the expertise of the US team in developing high performance adaptive architecture, and the Egyptian team in designing parallel software and compilers. This collaboration is expected to significantly benefit research in the information technology area in each country. The project will involve a US graduate student who will gain an experience in international scientific collaboration. The proposal meets the INT objective of supporting collaborative research in areas of mutual interest. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these cooperative activities.
