The Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) is highly active in developing middleware standards for high performance embedded computing (HPEC), especially for DoD-relevant applications in sensor signal processing and cognitive processing. To support this research, GIT has used the funding provided by this project to purchase, install, and make operational a 104-processor, 900+ gigaflops heterogeneous Beowulf computing cluster. The system is currently in use as a test bed and simulator in support of the embedded multiprocessor software programs in which GIT participates, particularly the HPEC Software Initiative (HPEC-SI) program. A detailed list of equipment purchased is provided later in this report. This system has significantly enhanced GIT's current research capabilities and allowed us to expand our contributions to HPEC programs by enabling wore thorough experimentation demonstration and testing of emerging standards.
