HP Labs has reviewed more than 450 proposals from 200 universities in 28 countries and chosen 41 projects from 34 institutions to receive HP Labs Innovation Awards. Among these, the University of California, San Diego project we just wrote about in which researchers are promoting the idea of using lots of clustered commodity Ethernet switches in such a way that you need a lot fewer 10G Ethernet switches. Other winners include Greg Ganger, a professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Parallel Data Lab (PDL) at Carnegie Mellon, who will work with HP Labs on data storage infrastructure issues (His winning proposal was dubbed "Toward Scalable Self-Storage." Also intriguing: Kang Shin's "Adaptive Resource Management in Large-Scale Virtual Data Centers" out of the University of Michigan.
The future of networking as seen through the works of university and other labs.
Our mission is to give you a peek into the future of networking by tracking "alpha" research at university and other labs and at companies based on this work. Your Alpha Doggs are Network World editors Bob Brown, Linda Leung and Neal Weinberg.
