For those who don’t know, and those who don’t know the details, here goes. I applied for an IROP grant back in October and was accepted. It’s funding me to fly to Nuremberg, Germany on Thursday, where I will be working for Ronald Veldema and Michael Philippsen at Friedrich-Alexander University until August. I’ll be implementing a distributed hash table specifically for computer clusters. See the description page here. (Over)simply, I’ll be writing software for a computer cluster, or a “supercomputer on a budget”—a handful, or hundreds, or thousands of off-the-shelf computers connected via a network and programmed to work together.
I set up this site so I can let people know how my summer is going and so that I can post pictures. And I get Subversion hosting with this web hosting plan, which is a big plus.
