| Research Abstract |
This research project started in 1987 as an inter-university collaborative project to study computer software and hardware comprehensively. The partner was the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The period was three years and participants totalled twelve including both sides. During the period, six researchers from each side visited the partner university. The research areas are classified into five: (1) Algorithms, (2) Languages, (3) Neuro-computing, (4) Expert systems, and (5) Cube-connected computer architectures.
The total twelve researchers did research actively under this project and published numerous research papers in journals and conference proceedings. Only a few of them are listed in References. One major factor that characterizes the project is parallelism. In all the above five areas, progress was made based on parallelism. That is, significant speed-up of processing was made possible through parallel algorithms on a parallel computers. This is partly because UAB owns a parallel computer, Sequent Balance with 30 processors, which helped us develop parallel algorithms. As a consequence. We, Ibaraki University, replaced our VAX11/785 by a Sequent Symmetry with 20 processors and shifted to a parallel environment smoothly, which will characterize our research direction in the future.
In conclusion, this research project has been very successful and has been a good start-up of our future collaboration. Only one problem was that of accommodation. We were lodged at a hotel-like guest house of UAB, whereas researchers from UAB were accommodated in a very old wooden house of Ibaraki University. We sincerely hope to have a good accommodation in Hitachi where School of Engineering is located, like the international house recently built in the Mito headquarter of Ibaraki University.
