• The High Performance Computing Education and Research Center (HPCERC) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico.. This was established to provide common guidance and oversight of the university's efforts in high performance computing and communications. The HPCERC has two major components:
  • The Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC). Once of seven high performance computing centers sponsored by the US Department of Defense, providing massively parallel and vector supercomputers for DoD researchers. The Center had an 80 node IBM SP2 delivered in May 1994 and opened its doors on 1 August 1994. Projects to be tackled include research in observation, tracking and imaging of objects in space for the US Air Force, examining the long term economic impact of the 1993 mid-summer floods in Midwest US, and analysing weather systems to predict future floods.
  • The Albuquerque Resource Center (ARC). This supports high performance computing in a diverse community that includes Department of Defense and Department of Energy research laboratories, graduate and undergraduate education and research institutions, and sophisticated commercial users.

Contains details of the lab, researchers, technical reports and parallel visualization software developed. [NSF]
• University of Southern California (USC) Multiprocessor Testbed Project. This is a project to explore a new approach for the rapid prototyping and performance evaluation of multiprocessor systems. The methodology is based on hardware emulation and relies on emerging FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) technology. Our first emulator, called the USC Multiprocessor Testbed, is an 8-processor reconfigurable machine. It was designed and built in 15 months. The Testbed can emulate a large class of systems including shared and distributed memory multiprocessors, CC-NUMAs, COMAs, various cache protocols and consistency models.
