Senior Assistant, Ph.D.

Research:

• Parallel computation / programming
  • 100 processors is better than 1 processor!
    
    
    • Only if they can cooperate!
    • Cooperation requires efficient communication!
    • Communication facilities may be expensive!
    • Can we do well enough with cheaper communication facilities?

Longer explanation

• These may be a bit difficult to use:
  

• This is easier to use:
  
• BUT: fast and wide communication may be very expensive!

• How well we can do with cheaper solutions? For example,
  • fast but narrow communication, or
    
  • slow but wide communication
    
  • (or anyhine between + a few other features).

• Answer: Reasonably well (with a little extra effort)!
