The goals of the Center for Parallel and Distributed Computing that was started
in Sep. 1, 1996, are to conduct
leading-edge, fundamental science and engineering research that will provide
a sound technological basis to the technology of parallel and
distributed computing.
The specific research
areas that are undertaken at the Center
include all aspects of parallel and distributed
computing, namely, parallel architectures, parallel compilers
and software, parallel and distributed
algorithms and applications, parallel and distributed
database systems, and parallel I/O systems.
An overview of the research projects and their interactions
is shown in Figure .
This report outlines the activities in the center during September 1, 1997 and August 31, 1998.
