Mission CAN Laboratory provides a stimulating environment in CACS for members to undertake basic research and experimental studies related to the disciplines of computer architecture and computer networks. It strives to promote high quality research, to facilitate collaborative effort in tackling topics poised for continued interest and lasting impacts, and to disseminate research results widely. CAN is equipped with modern computing and communication gear to meet the needs of active research and educational activities.
The Lab CAN houses an
array of the state-of-the-art computing and communication equipment
dedicated to the support of research projects and educational
activities. It includes an IBM eServer Blade Center, a collection of 12 SUNFire V20z servers, a SUN Enterprise E-420 (4-way) server, a Dell PowerEdge 6450 (4-way,
running Linux) server, and a Dell PowerEdge 7150 (dual Itanium
processors) server, interconnected by a Cisco Catalyst 3524 switch and
other Gigabit Ethernet switches. More than three dozens of desktop PC's and laptops, are
also interconnected through fast Ethernet switches and seven wireless access points.
In addition, CAN is equipped with a Cisco 12016 Internet core router (with fast Ethernet linecards), an Adtech AX/4000 router test system from
Spirent Communications (with two 10/100 BASE-T interfaces, two 1-Gbps generators/analyzers, and an RFC 2544 Performance Test Suite).
Ericsson Bluetooth starter kits, Crossbow sensors, along with various
peripheral devices and (application and system) software are available
for research use. These machines constitute a heterogeneous environment
suitable for our investigation into software distributed shared memory.
They also serve as indispensable platforms for our studies of computer
networks through simulation and real implementations. |
