Welcome to the FSU CS EXPLORER (EXtreme-scale comPuting, modeLing, netwORking & systEms Research) laboratory. We are a group of researchers who share common interests in

• exploring cutting-edge technologies for designing, evaluating, constructing, programming, and using extreme-scale distributed computing systems including super-computing systems, cloud computing data centers, networked computing systems, heterogeneous computing systems, and Internet of things,
• and developing, implementing, and evaluating techniques at the architecture, systems, and applications levels that advance the state-of-the-art distributed computing in cost-effectiveness, scalability, power-efficiency, reliability, security, and ease-of-use.

The EXPLORER laboratory is funded in part by Department of Energy Office of Science, National Science Foundation, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Florida State University.

• 08/2017: Two papers from the Explorer lab have been accepted by the IEEE Transactions on Parallel
  and Distributed Systems, a top journal in our area: Peyman’s paper titled “Random Regular Graph and De Bruijn Graph with k-shortest Path Routing” and Atiqul’s paper titled “Fast Calculation of Max-min Fair Rates for Multi-commodity Flows in Fat-Tree Networks”.
• 08/2017: Prof. Yuan receives a new grant as a co-PI from National Science Foundation to develop security mechanisms for High Performance Computing systems. This is a joint project with Prof. Zhi Wang (PI) and Prof. Viet Tung Hoang.
• 06/2017: Peyman’s paper “A Comparative Study of SDN and Adaptive Routing on Dragonfly Networks” is accepted by IEEE/ACM SC’17.
