We would like to thank Ronald Greenberg of UMCP's Electrical Engineering Department for his valuable comments and encouragement.
We would also like to thank the CASTLE/SPLIT-C group at The University of California, Berkeley, especially for the help and encouragement from David Culler, Arvind Krishnamurthy, and Lok Tin Liu.
We acknowledge the use of the UMIACS 16-node IBM SP-2-TN2, which was provided by an IBM Shared University Research award and an NSF Academic Research Infrastructure Grant No. CDA9401151.
12 Arvind Krishnamurthy provided additional help with his port of SPLIT-C to the Cray Research T3D [2]. The Jet Propulsion Lab/Caltech 256-node Cray T3D Supercomputer used in this investigation was provided by funding from the NASA Offices of Mission to Planet Earth, Aeronautics, and Space Science. We also acknowledge William Carlson and Jesse Draper from the Center for Computing Science (formerly Supercomputing Research Center) for writing the parallel compiler AC (version 2.6) [9] on which the T3D port of SPLIT-C has been based.
We also thank the Numerical Aerodynamic Simulation Systems Division of the NASA Ames Research Center for use of their 160-node IBM SP-2-WN.
This work also utilized the CM-5 at National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, under grant number ASC960008N.
