项目摘要

EIA-9986032David K. LowenthalUniversity of GeorgiaInstrumentation Grant for Research in Parallel and Distributed ComputingThe Parallel and Distributed Computing Laboratory at the University of Georgia, established in 1998 is dedicated to making parallel computing simple, portable, and efficient. The activities of the laboratory include designing and implementing efficient parallel algorithms, developing highly configurable environments for the monitoring, visualization, and interactive steering of distributed programs, and developing lower-level systems that transparently and dynamically determine how to distribute data across processors. Currently research in the laboratory is primarily done on networks of commodity uniprocessor workstations. The attractive price/performance ration of small, bus-based multiprocessors relative to uniprocessors makes it likely that two-and four-way multiprocessors will be commonplace within a few years. Still, to create large parallel machines, these multiprocessors will be networked together to create a hybrid (both shared-and distributed-memory) machine. This poses interesting problems, including (1) should the machine be treated as distributed or both shared and distributed. (2) How do we make full use of such machines and (3) how can a user monitor and control program on such machines? The Department of computer Science at the University of Georgia seeks funds to purchase eight Pentium-based multiprocessors with four processors each. A 100Mb/s Ethernet and an SGI fronted to serve as a console for visualization and interactive control. This equipment will be used by three projects.Parallel and Distributed algorithms for computational biologyMonitoring, visualization, and interactive steering, andAn integrated compiler/run-time system for global data distribution

EIA-9986032DAVID K.在1998年成立的佐治亚大学的平行和分布式计算的Georgiainsmentrumentation授予的较低的Georgiainsmentrumentation授予的研究授予并行计算的平行和分布式计算实验室，致力于使并行计算，可简单，便携，高效，且高效。实验室的活动包括设计和实施有效的并行算法，为分布式程序的监视，可视化和交互式转向开发高度可配置的环境，以及开发透明且动态地确定如何在处理器跨处理器分发数据的低级系统。目前，实验室的研究主要是在商品单层工作站网络上进行的。相对于单层处理器的小型总线多处理器的有吸引力的价格/性能评估使得两个和四向多处理器可能会在几年内很普遍。尽管如此，为了创建大型并行机器，这些多处理器将被联网以创建混合动力（都共享和分布式记忆）机器。这构成了有趣的问题，包括（1）应该将机器视为分布式或共享和分发。（2）我们如何充分利用此类机器，以及（3）用户如何在此类机器上监视和控制程序？佐治亚大学的计算机科学系寻求资金购买八个基于奔驰的多处理器，每个处理器各处四个处理器。 100mb/s以太网和SGI的前面是可视化和交互式控制的控制台。该设备将由三个项目使用。用于计算生物学监管，可视化和交互式转向的符合和分布式算法，Andan Integrated Compiler/Run-lime System用于全局数据分布
