In recent years researchers have come to believe that in spite of               the continued advances in integrated circuit technology, there                  will be an upper limit to the speed of sequential processors,                   i.e. computers that process one instruction at a time.  An                      alternate strategy to increase computational speed is to use                    parallel processing, the use of simultaneous processing of                      separate streams of data.  Thus a most promising line of research               would be the development of algorithms for multiprocessors.                                                                                                     This equipment grant will provide partial support for the                       purchase of a 32-node hypercube system by an established group of               engineers working in computational mechanics.  They have                        extensive experience with sequential computations but now wish to               explore parallel systems.                                                                                                                                       The institutional support is adequate, I recommend support.
