This project is centered around the creation of a parallel software             laboratory, called PARASOL.  This facility is intended to support a             variety of projects investigating both the fundamental nature of                parallel computing and its application to problems of importance in             software engineering and in scientific computing.  The award will aid           in the establishment of this software laboratory through provision of           support for a tightly-coupled multiprocessor and a number of                    workstations along with support for maintenance costs, support staff            and related costs.  The research builds on work conducted under a               previous Coordinated Experimental Research (CER) grant and will extend          the earlier contributions, as well as providing for expansion in new            directions.  Significant results are expected in the very important             areas of (1) the fundamental nature of parallel computing and (2)               applications of parallel computing to problems in scientific computing          and software engineering.
