Research

Networked and Distributed Computing Systems Laboratory (NDSL) is working on a number of research projects that improve the practice of design and implementation of networked computing systems. The goal of our research is to find the novel system design principles that fundamentally enhance the performance, scalability, security of modern computer systems. More specically, we are currently interested in new opportunities with novel computer hardware such as GPUs, multi-core CPUs, NV-RAM, Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) in the design of high-performance and robust networked systems. In addition, we focus on developing network applications for mobile network through a Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN).
