Distributed and parallel systems
The field of distributed and parallel systems has been an important research focus at SICS since its inception, and SICS researchers have made noteworthy contributions to e.g. the programming languages AKL and Oz, and to the programming system Mozart.
While early research projects focused on programming technology for high performance computing clusters, the focus during the last few years has been technology and algorithms for large distributed systems and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. A recent contribution to the field is the DKS (Distributed K-ary System) middleware for Distributed Hash Tables – an important enabler for efficient, scalable, and self-managing distributed applications.
Following the recent global interest in GRID technology and the processor industry’s switch to multi-core architectures, SICS is once again turning its attention to high performance computing and parallel systems. Recent research activities in this field include debugging and test tools and compilers for parallel architectures.
