What Anindya is doing here
I am a graduate student in
Computer Science
at Cornell University hoping to complete a PhD by the turn
of the century. When I am not listening to
rock music
or goofing off, I work on the
Cornell ATM Cluster Project
with my advisor
Thorsten von Eicken.
What Anindya thinks is cool
Like most other graduate students from
India
who went to the
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, I am a die hard
Pink Floyd
fanatic and finally realized my childhood dream of seeing them perform live
last summer in Philadelphia. The other "P" I am in love with is
Plum who is known to the
great unwashed as Pelham Grenville Wodehouse. And yes, I also attended
Woodstock '94!
For the truly motivated, here is an online
Woodstock review with photographs. Woodstock is where I experienced
Metallica live for the first time!
I would have loved to see the
soccer worldcup last year, but
unfortunately, it did not happen. I like to cook, and have tried to put
some
recipes that I like online. I also fancy myself as a connoisseur
of good whisky, especially
single malts.

And now for something completely different..
I am working on the
Cornell ATM Cluster Project
which aims at providing a high performance communications layer on clusters of
workstations such that parallel program performance comparable to state of the
art MPPs can be acheived on such clusters. We have developed a very fast message passing
layer called U-Net and an implementation of Active Messages and Split-C on U-Net that
show performance at par with parallel programs running on the CM-5 and the Meiko CS-2.
In addition TCP/UDP implemented on U-Net shows really low latencies and can saturate
the fibre at low segment sizes. We are also working in collaboration with
the Berkeley
NoW project team to develop a specification
for a communications layer that would enable fast communication between processes
both in trusted and untrusted environments.
