My area of research is cloud computing, distributed systems, and
networking. I am equally interested in designing algorithms and
systems with strong theoretical foundations, and in providing
practical implementations that are deployable in the real world.
The list of my
publications are available here.
- Current projects:
- Mesos, a cluster manager
that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing across
cluster computing frameworks, such as Hadoop, MPI and Hypertable.
- Spark, a
cluster computing frameworks to efficiently support interactive, and
iterative computations.
- Previous projects:
- OCALA, an overlay architecture for deploying legacy applications over new Internet architecture.
- Internet Indirection Infrastructure (i3), an network architecture that uses a rendezvous-based communication abstraction to support a wide variety of communication abstractions, including multicast, anycast and mobility.
- Chord, and efficient lookup protocol for peer-to-peer networks.
- OML, an overlay MAC layer to provide fair bandwidth sharing in wireless environments.
- Older projects (during my graduate studies, at CMU):
- Dynamic Packet State (DPS), a scalable QoS
and resource management architecture for the Internet. The main idea
of DPS is to have packets carry per-flow state, instead of
maintaining the state at routers. One instantiation of DPS is CSFQ (Core-Stateless Fair Queueing), a protocol
that provides fair sharing without requiring routers to maintain any
per-flow state.
- Hierarchical
Fair Service Curve (HFSC), an hierarchical scheduling algorithm
that decouples the bandwidth and delay allocations.
