My research centers around computer graphics, large-scale displays and parallel computing.  Most of my current research involves parallel rendering on a PC cluster.  Details of the various projects are available below the list of publications.

Details

Details about our research into parallel rendering with clusters of commodity PCs can be found at the Cluster-rendering page.

For details about projects related to the SVM work I did you can check out the PRISM page.  There you can find papers that describe the original Home-based SVM protocol (HLRC) and papers that describe the HRLC protocol implemented without special hardware support.  My particular contribution in this area has been extending the HLRC protocol to work on a cluster of SMP machines (previous work only addressed uniprocessor clusters).  Further work has since been done, exploring the scalability of the SMP-HLRC protocol (I was used a cluster with 16 processors) and also the issue of porting the protocol to new operating systems (Windows NT 4.0) and new network APIs (VIA).
