Objective

We study the design and use of computing systems and communication networks. Current projects include scheduling "collaborative" computations on modern computing platforms (including [heterogeneous] clusters, computational grids, and the Internet), designing efficient communication protocols, creating virtual parallel architectures via algorithms (including fault tolerance), determining the computational consequences of advances in technology, and developing supporting mathematical techniques.
