The department has added a new parallel computer to its already imposing stable of high performance systems. The system, a Sun Ultra Enterprise 4000, was delivered a little after 9 a.m. on Wed., Jan. 22, and, thanks to Jalal Haddad , it was up and running less than 3 hours later. In CS381, one of the languages studied is the visual programming language Prograph. Anyone who has installed a Chinese interpreter can read both the Chinese and English magazines, otherwise, you can still read the English ones. We extend deep condolences to his family.
Students apply for the program at the end of their sophomore year.
Watch for forthcoming announcements about how to do this. CRL is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our interns are usually graduate students in computer science Ph.D. programs who are interested in working on a project related to the kinds of work we do. International students are eligible. This summer, we expect to have openings in the areas of computer vision and graphics, human-computer interaction, video and image processing, multimedia indexing, speech recognition, and scalable parallel computation.
