Short Bio

KyoungSoo Park is an assistant professor in the electrical engineering department at KAIST. He received his B.S. degree in computer science from Seoul National University in South Korea in 1997, and his M.A. (in 2004) and Ph.D. (in 2007) degrees in computer science from Princeton University. After his Ph.D., he worked as associate research scholar at Princeton University from 2007 to 2008 and worked as assistant professor in the computer science department at the University of Pittsburgh for the year of 2009. In 2007, he co-founded CoBlitz Inc. which provides the highly scalable and reliable content distribution service to ISPs and telcos.

Teaching

Research Interest

My research interests focus on the design and implementation of networked and distributed systems. I am especially interested in the novel techniques and approaches which fundamentally improve the scalability, reliability, security, and performance of networked systems such as content distribution networks (CDNs), data center applications, and Internet infrastructure services such as Domain Name System (DNS). I am open to exploring various interesting issues in computer systems and networking.

Current Projects:

PacketShader: a GPU-accelerated software router on an x86 machine. It forwards 64B IP packets at 39 Gbps on a single commodity PC.
SSLShader: a GPU-accelerated high-performance software SSL proxy on an x86 machine. It achieves 29K SSL transactions per second and 13 Gbps SSL throughput on a single commodity PC.
SecureEnvelope: Secure network application framework with accurate human attestation. Work in progress.

Publications

Past Projects:

I have been in charge of the Co* projects on PlanetLab:

CoDeeN, a Web content distribution network on PlanetLab
CoDNS, fast and reliable DNS lookup service
CoBlitz, scalable large-file transfer service over HTTP
CoDeploy, scalable delpoyment service on top of CoBlitz
CoMon, monitoring infrastructure for PlanetLab
