Mary Drake Application for Use of Parallel Computers Accounts on the Intel iPSC/860 (128 processors), Thinking Machines CM-5 (32 processors), the Kendall Square KSR-1 (64 processors), and the MasPar MP-2 (4096 processors) are available through the JICS. Funding to acquire these machines was obtained to support very specific activities; consequently, the researchers working in these areas must be given priority access. Therefore, we request that individuals obtaining access to these machines through the JICS limit their use to simple testing, benchmarking, and scaling studies. Currently, time is available on these machines, but as the usage increases, we may need to be more restrictive to the availability of time. JICS reserves the right to suspend accounts for any reason, including excessive use. We ask also that acknowledgement of JICS for obtaining access to these machines be included in any related publications resulting from your research. If you are interested in using one or more of these machines, please clip out and return the following application to JICS (jics@cs.utk.edu). JICS Account Application Form Name: Social Security Number: Current Position: Student (enrolled in CMSC 691a) Department: Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Institution: University of Maryland Baltimore County Office Phone: Mailing Address: c/o Dr. Howard E. Motteler Email Address: Computer(s) Requested: MarPar MP-2 Area(s) of interest: SIMD architecture and programming Describe below (in some detail) how and for what purpose you intend to use the parallel computer: We will be doing several moderate-sized projects for CMSC 691a, a graduate course in parallel and distributed processing taught by Dr. Motteler at UMBC (motteler@umbc.edu). These projects include matrix multiplication (as an introduction to SIMD programming) and one or more of the following: an N-body problem where N is on the order of the number of PE's; neural networks; the compilation of n-grams; or finite grid analyses. In all cases these projects are indended for code development and instructional purposes, rather than production runs on large datasets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- UT/ORNL Joint Institute for Computational Science Room 104, South College | University of Tennessee | The "user-friendly interface" Knoxville, TN 37996-1301 | between researchers and high Phone: (423) 974-3907 | performance computers.
