RSS design problemDART: Dynamic Address RouTing for Scalable Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks
White Paper Most current ad hoc routing architectures use flat static addressing and thus, need to keep track of each node individually, creating a massive overhead problem as the network grows. Could dynamic addressing alleviate this problem? [04 Aug 2008]
Shared Receive Queue Based Scalable MPI Design for InfiniBand Clusters
White Paper The requirement of this model to make communication buffers available for each connection imposes a memory scalability problem. A high-performance scalable MPI design is crucial for MPI applications in order to exploit the massive potential for... [04 Aug 2008]
Cougaar: A Scalable, Distributed Multi-Agent Architecture
White Paper The paper defines the challenging problem of the UltraLog project; a distributed logistics application comprised of more than 1000 agents distributed over 100 hosts, which guided the design of the Cougaar architecture to ensure scalability... [04 Aug 2008]
Maintenance-Immune Design of Span-Restorable Mesh Networks
White Paper This problem was considered for span-restorable networks and provided two main advances. In contemplating mesh-based networking, some operators have expressed concern about the possible effects of span maintenance actions on network restorability... [04 Aug 2008]
Design of Hybrid Optical Networks With Waveband and Electrical TDM Switching
White Paper The paper investigates the network-optimization problem with static traffic to minimize the overall network switch cost. A mathematical formulation of the optimization problem and its solutions are presented. [18 Jul 2008]
Quocirca Insight Report: Data Centre Asset Planning -- Regaining control of the data centre
White Paper Inefficent power and space usage in data centres wastes both money and energy -- and it's a universal problem. The report also includes five recommendations based on the belief that only a thorough and rigorous approach to data centre design and... [17 Jul 2008]
Lightpath Topology Configuration for Wavelength-Routed IP/MPLS Networks for Time-Dependent Traffic
White Paper This paper considers the integrated design problem of configuration of lightpath topology and optimal routing of IP/MPLS tunnels on this lightpath topology for time-varying traffic. Two variants of the problem are considered: in the first variant... [11 Jul 2008]
Proportionally Fair Allocation of End-to-End Bandwidth in STDMA Wireless Networks
White Paper The design problem is posed as a utility maximization subject to link rate constraints that involve both power allocation and transmission scheduling over multiple time-slots. This paper considers the problem of designing distributed mechanisms for... [11 Jul 2008]
Multicast Routing and Bandwidth Dimensioning in Overlay Networks
White Paper This paper introduces the multicast routing problem specific to the overlay network environment and the related capacity assignment problem for overlay network planning. The main contributions are the design of several routing algorithms that... [11 Jul 2008]
VON: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Network for Virtual Environments
White Paper The central issue for P2P-based NVE (P2P-NVE) systems is to correctly and efficiently maintain the topology of all participating peers by solving the neighbor discovery problem. The paper also proposes Voronoi-based Overlay Network (VON), a simple... [11 Jul 2008]
Network Protection Design for MPLS Networks
White Paper This paper considers the problem of designing partially and fully survivable explicit label switched paths for MPLS networks. These problems are model as Mixed Integer Linear Programs. Furthermore, it presents a survivability assessment of the models. [11 Jul 2008]
Topological Design of Multiple VPNs Over MPLS Network
White Paper The use of sink-tree (multipoint-to-point) routing paths in a MPLS network makes the VPN design problem different from traditional design approaches where a full-mesh of point-to-point paths often is the choice. [11 Jul 2008]
Removing Architectural Bottlenecks to the Scalability of Speculative Parallelization
White Paper Often, the problem is not true dependence violations, but sub-optimal architectural design. Speculative thread-level parallelization is a promising way to speed up codes that compilers fail to parallelize. [11 Jul 2008]
Online Routing of Bandwidth Guaranteed Paths With Local Restoration Using Optimized Aggregate Usage Information
White Paper This paper investigates the problem of distributed online routing of bandwidth guaranteed paths with local restoration. A key design criterion for traffic engineering schemes is to maximize the sharing between backup paths, while minimizing this... [11 Jul 2008]
Analytical Model and Performance Analysis of a Network Interface Card
White Paper The reason there are very few analytical models is because of the enormous complexity posed by the performance-analysis problem. One of the key concerns for practitioners and academicians is that there are almost no platforms based on analytical... [11 Jul 2008]
