I hope it is of use to you. John Board INET: jab@cs.duke.edu Assistant Professor UUCP: ...!mcnc!duke!jab Dept. Electrical Eng'g and Dept. Comp. Sci. BITNET: DBOARD@TUCC Duke University, Durham NC USA AT+T: +1 (919) 684-3123 ======================================================================= Name of institution: Duke University Name of contact person: Dr John Board Address for contact person: Dept. of Electrical Engineering Duke University Durham, NC 27706 E-mail Address: jab@duke.cs.duke.edu jab@dukee.egr.duke.edu DBOARD@TUCC.BITNET Telephone number: (919)684-3123 Access to what computers? (exotic:) INMOS Transputer system, BBN Butterfly Plus (Conventional) MV/20000, Various Vaxen, Workstations (vax,sun,ibm), Convex C-1 (Remote) Duke belongs to Pittsburg, Cornell, Illinois supercomputer centers (Networks) full internet, BITNET access Degree offered? MS, PhD as part of our regular graduate program in EE. Short Curricul(um)(a) Statement: Emphasis in my group is on finding appropriate High Performance systems for particular applications. Custom / semi- custom system design and construction (both Hardware and Software). Preferred applications domain is very large scientific and engineering computations. Other groups at Duke (especially in Computer Science) have different interests! Remarks relevant to courses offered (e.g., to list courses rather than a degree curriculum). Many courses shared with UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State University, other institutions via two-way video network. Course offerings change frequently! Relevant courses originating from Duke last year included Computer Architecture (Intro) 2 flavors of high performance computer architecture parallel algorithms operating systems for parallel computers various neural networks and Applications courses and seminars fault tolerant computing lots of VLSI design and applications (with the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina) various special topics courses related to specific research projects scientific computing - various topics other courses originate from the other universities in the area.
