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.
