1. BİLKENT UNIVERSITY Department of Computer Engineering PARALLEL COMPUTING GROUP Computer Engineering Department of Bilkent University has a long-term expertise in both theoretical and practical aspects of parallel computing. In the last decade, this group has conducted parallel computing research on three different systems, namely iPSC/2 (in 1991), Parsytec CC24 (in 1996) and a PC cluster (in 2000), acquired by the fundings from Intel Corp., European Union and TÜBİTAK, respectively. • PC cluster: • 32 nodes • 128 MB RAM • Debian Linux • PVM-MPI Volume rendering of a combustion chamber: pressure and velocity fields. • Parsytec CC: • 24 nodes • 64 MB RAM • IBM-AIX • EPX-PVM Screen assignments for 24 processors: jagged and hypergraph partitionings. • Current Projects: • Parallel language engineering toolkit • (Xerox XRCE, Sabancı University, • EoI submission to EU FP6) • Parallel CFD for missile aerodynamics • (Roketsan A.Ş.) • Parallel data mining • Parallel geographic information systems • Previous Projects: • Task scheduling for PC clusters • (TÜBİTAK EEAG-199E013, 1999-2002) • Unstructured domain mapping • (EU ITDC-204, 1995-1998) • Parallel direct volume rendering • (TÜBİTAK EEAG-160, 1995-1997) • Real-time realistic image generation • (TÜBİTAK EEAG-5 and • Intel SSD 100791-2, 1991-1994) Bilkent University Department of Computer Engineering Ankara 06533 Phone: (312) 290 16 25 Fax: (312) 266 40 46 Email: aykanat@cs.bilkent.edu.tr URL: http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~aykanat
