[en] Description of project for T414-base trasputer system designed for solution of the following problems: increase of ES1057 computer memory and development of 3D-graphic displays - is given. Block-diagrams of controller, graphic subsystem and node processor are presented

[en] We are using an Intel 8080 microprocessor to control the movement of a mechanical measuring stage. It is a component of a computer-controlled half-automatic measuring device called HEVAS. The tasks of the microprocessor are: -controlling the velocity of the measuring stage, -steering of the stage according to the input by a track ball, -positioning of the stage, -circular movement. The program needs 2 Kbyte of PROM and about 250 byte of RAM. It consists of a foreground (velocity control) task and a background task (the others). Calculations are done with a mixed 8 and 16-bit arithmetic. The program has been written mainly in PL/M but time-critical parts are in assembler language. (orig.)

[en] We report on the progress and status of the integration and test of APEmille, a SIMD parallel computer optimised for Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT) with a peak performance in the TeraFlops range. After extensive development and testing of the design, a first 128-node system has quickly and successfully been integrated. Tests with physics production runs are to be started soon

[en] This talk is divided in two parts. In the first part, we will summarize the status of the APEmille project that will be completed by the end of the year. We will then devote the rest of the talk to the description of a new project for a multi-TeraFlop machine, apeNEXT. The interested reader will find a much more detailed discussion of all the items touched upon here in the full proposal of the project that will shortly appear on hep-lat

[en] The first stage of the AMANDA High Energy Neutrino Detector at the South Pole, the 302 PMT array AMANDA-B with an expected effective area for TeV neutrinos of ∼ 10⁴ m², has been taking data since 1997. Progress with calibration, investigation of ice properties, as well as muon and neutrino data analysis are described. The next stage 20-string detector AMANDA-II with ∼800 PMTs will be completed in spring 2000

[en] With an effective telescope area of order 10⁴ m² for TeV neutrinos, a threshold near ∼50 GeV and a pointing accuracy of 2.5 degrees per muon track, the AMANDA detector represents the first of a new generation of high energy neutrino telescopes, reaching a scale envisaged over 25 years ago. We describe early results on the calibration of natural deep ice as a particle detector as well as on AMANDA's performance as a neutrino telescope

[en] The first stage of the AMANDA High Energy Neutrino Detector at the South Pole, the 302 PMT array AMANDA-B10, is taking data since 1997. We describe results on atmospheric neutrinos, limits on indirect WIMP detection, seasonal muon flux variation, relativistic monopole flux limits, a search for gravitational collapse neutrinos, and a depth scan of the optical ice properties. The next stage 19-string detector AMANDA-II with ∼650 PMTs will be completed in spring 2000
