Student Doctoral Program in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences Doctoral Assistant Network Architecture Laboratory

Mihai Dobrescu Doctoral Program in Computer, Communication and Information Sciences office(s): BC122 phone(s): [+41 21 69] 31484 BIOGRAPHY I am a PhD student in Computer and Communication Science at EPFL working under supervision of Professor Katerina Argyraki. I am affiliated with both the Network Architecture Lab and the Operating Systems Lab. Before joining EPFL, I received my MS(2009) and BS(2007) degree from University "Politehnica" of Bucharest. RESEARCH Our goal is to build fast and programmable packet-processing platforms that would allow networks to evolve. - We have developed RouteBricks, a scalable software-router architecture built out of commodity hardware, which parallelizes functionality across and within servers to achieve multi-Gbps line rates for IP forwarding. - Our ongoing work is focused on how to configure a software-based packet-processing system in order to achieve predictable and optimal performance for a varied mix of packet-processing applications sharing the same software/hardware infrastructure.
