Systems Software and Architecture Lab

The Systems Software and Architecture Lab (SSAL) receives funding from the National Science Foundation for work on quality of service provisioning in internetwork and clustered computing environments. It houses an internetwork of Pentium II desktops, Sun UltraSPARC workstations, and Pentium laptops. Heterogeneous network connectivity is provided through Fast Ethernet, a gigabit Myrinet switch, and WaveLAN wireless interfaces. Gigabytes of distributed disk storage are available. In addition, a variety of multimedia equipment provides live capture and presentation of video and audio data. Currently supporting the Concerto and ISAC projects, SSAL is in a phase of active expansion.
