The main objective of the project is to design, implement, and
evaluate mechanisms that will allow the efficient and flexible
use of high-speed networks (with a bandwidth greater than 1
Gb/s).
To achieve the above objective, we focus our activities in 2
main areas, namely
- -
- Transmission control protocols for high-speed networks.
We are designing and developing flexible and high performance
transmission control protocols which integrate mechanisms for
the allocation of resources in the network, for multicast
delivery, for flexible error control, etc. These protocols are
used in particular in IVS (INRIA Videoconference System), an
application for videoconference over the Internet.
- -
- High performance applications.
Previous research in the RODEO project led to the development
of the MAVROS compiler, and of fast algorithms for the
management of data transparency in heterogeneous systems. We
are extending this work so as to allow the compiler to handle
detailed specifications of the applications. This will lead to
further optimizations.
We expect that the two research areas described above will
eventually merge within the framework of the recently-proposed
Application Level Framing (ALF) architecture. It will then be
possible to take into account specifications of an application,
of the network resources required by the application, and to
automatically generate tailored communication modules that handle
both data transparency, synchronization, and transmission control
for this application.
