Research Fields - Systems
Electronic computing devices (namely computers) are arguably one of the most important technological breakthroughs of the twentieth century, starting with theoretical work in the 1930’s. The constant progress in this area comes from constant improvement in the technology to implement computers, and from developing new ways to exploit technology. As computer systems are increasingly becoming a central ingredient in the modern world, various new problems keep coming up, be it due to new capabilities or to new demands. In the Computers Research Group we try to answer some of these questions and possibly pose new ones. More specifically, we are studying questions related to the construction of new systems, and algorithms in various settings.
These include:
- Computer architecture, microarchitecture, virtual machines, multicore, multithreading, memory systems
- Classical algorithms, solving various practical problems with guaranteed performance in the worst-case
- Modern algorithms, including randomized algorithms and on-line algorithms
- Algorithms used in communication systems
- Study of the Internet
- Design and analysis of distributed and parallel systems
- Security and privacy in computer systems
- Design and analysis of cryptographic tools
