Massively Parallel Computing at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)

Two areas which need further enhancement in the parallel computing effort of the National Center for Supercomputer Applications are the creation of a balanced hardware environment that will facilitate greater user access and system throughput, and consulting support for the migration of users to the newly acquired Connection Machine. This award will provide hardware to increase the communication bandwidth, and also allow a greater number of users to access the machine. It also provides for staff/consultants who can assist users.
