I don't really look like this. Click on the photograph for a more recent mugshot.

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.
