项目摘要

CDA-9617310 McKinley, Philip K. Cheng, Betty H.C. Michigan State University CISE Research Instrumentation for an SMP Cluster Testbed This award provides funds for the purchase of a cluster of symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs), interconnected by a high-speed switch, to be used in parallel and distributed data processing research. The SMP cluster will be connected to existing research facilities, creating a rich research infrastructure. The primary purpose of the testbed is to support experimental studies in four projects: large-scale parallel data clustering as applied to image processing; communication algorithms and libraries for distributed parallel computing; programming support tools for specification and design, visualization, and resource allocation; and design of parallel algorithms for feature extraction and matching in large-scale, distributed, fingerprint databases. The results of this experimental research will provide a better understanding of the issues and problems that must be addressed in developing distributed parallel software for SMP clusters. Moreover, these projects will produce tangible results in the form of applications software, libraries, and tools for use by other researchers and developers. The Department of Computer Science, College of Engineering, and Michigan State University are strongly committed to the success of this project, as evidenced by significant matching funds, leveraging of existing equipment, and commitments for maintenance and support of the testbed.

CDA-9617310 McKinley、Philip K. Cheng、Betty H.C. 密歇根州立大学用于 SMP 集群测试台的 CISE 研究仪器该奖项提供资金用于购买对称多处理器 (SMP) 集群，这些处理器通过高速交换机互连，用于并行和分布式数据处理研究。 SMP集群将连接到现有的研究设施，创建丰富的研究基础设施。该测试床的主要目的是支持四个项目的实验研究：应用于图像处理的大规模并行数据聚类；用于分布式并行计算的通信算法和库；用于规范和设计、可视化和资源分配的编程支持工具；大规模分布式指纹数据库中特征提取和匹配的并行算法设计。这项实验研究的结果将有助于更好地理解在开发 SMP 集群分布式并行软件时必须解决的问题和问题。此外，这些项目将以应用软件、库和工具的形式产生切实的成果，供其他研究人员和开发人员使用。计算机科学系、工程学院和密歇根州立大学坚定地致力于该项目的成功，大量的配套资金、现有设备的利用以及对测试台维护和支持的承诺就证明了这一点。
