Research Areas in HPCL

High Performance, Energy Efficient and Secure Cluster design (NSF project, 2006 - 2009)
Our research interests lie in the general area of Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing. Specifically, our work has focused on providing network support for high performance cluster systems. The issues dealt with in our past/ongoing research include high performance cluster interconnect design, energy optimization techniques in clusters, and secure cluster design. In addition, many of the issues will be re-examined in the context of on-chip networks, which are increasingly finding their way into commercial markets and could be used as cluster nodes in the future.
Design and Analysis of Embedded Software Solutions in Wireless Environments (ETRI project, 2005 - 2008)
In this project, we attempt to provide software solutions for these two applications; multimedia streaming services in wireless LAN environments and fault-tolerant wireless sensor network design. Video streaming is currently gaining more interest from end-users as their access speed to network is steadily increasing. Due to the increasing popularity of hand-held devices and wireless laptops, the final access points are mostly in wireless environments. For energy efficiency in wireless sensor networks, dynamic reconfiguration, where only a subset of sensor nodes is active with some interval, has been widely adopted. However, maintaining required K-coverage and connectivity is critical for the dynamic reconfiguration of wireless sensor networks.
